re: Nice opinion piece on income inequality from CNN

Well, I didn't read the article, and I can't tell who is trolling who in this thread so I'll just leave my thoughts on income inequality here.

Most seem to miss the point, and label those that want to fight income inequality as jealous of the rich. For me, that couldn't be further from the case. I enjoy having money, but it doesn't motivate me. I live a comfortable life with my middle class wages. I grew p relatively poor(not really there were just 5 kids in my family and the dollar was stretched) The problem is the rate of income growth for the wealthy has far outpaced the rate of growth for the poor and middle class. You'd expect that for the poor, but it is alarming when compared to the middle class. The middle class is being squeezed by both ends, and that's not a good thing.
