There certainly is. Though a better measure would be wealth inequality imo. Now if you were to say there is no such thing as income equality, I wouldn't disagree.
The question of inequality to me is more a question of severity. At some point it becomes destabilizing to the government and the economy. Large underclasses have not been shy about fricking shite up when the wealth is in the hands of too few. That being said, it isn't a pressing issue for the United States.

As in the US is not guilty of too much wealth inequality? Or it is guilty and just isn't a big deal?
Why I ask is because the greatest movement against this we've seen was the Occupy Wallstreet movement and it fizzled pretty quick with literally no economic impact.
