INCOME INEQUALITY

There is growing evidence that the United States is at historic levels of income inequality, as measured in the relative differences between the lowest and the highest income earners. This has important implication for union laws, the minimum wage, CEO pay, tax policy, and Obama's promise to strengthen the middle class with good jobs. With the financial crisis, questions associated with taxing the "very rich" because of the hardships suffered by everyone else will become even more significant.
