We are supposed to believe that two-parent households, advance degrees, and premium pay are antithetical to contributing to wealth disparity. It’s a wealth of opinion without supporting fact.

There’s also the nifty sleights of hand, such as: “Harvard’s Lawrence Katz has calculated that even if all the gains of the top 1% were redistributed to the 99%, household incomes would go up by less than half of what they would if everyone had a college degree.”

This does not disprove or dissuade that the rich are getting richer at the expense of the poor. It merely says that on top of that they’re also gaining because of their education.

It’s a specious article that in no way presents a fact or study that supports its thesis.
