“What accounts for the preoccupation with income and wealth inequality? We hear about it every day. Isn’t our absolute living standard what matters and whether it is improving or deteriorating? I’ll bet that’s what regular people care about. However, the professional grievance mongers see things differently, They want you to resent those who are richer. To start with the basics, we are not talking about inequality. We’re talking about income and wealth differences. Substitution of the term inequality is an appeal to emotion, a cashing in on other senses of the word.” (09/27/24)
