Yes, but I don't care about disparity, as long as the benefits are widely enjoyed, which, in fact, was also being challenged, so the post was not irrelevant. Redistribution is pretty meaningless in a capitalist context. It will never occur at a level that truly promotes equality, but will only involve modest shifts.....

Actually, they compared to the '70s and the first half of the '90s. Anyway, it is silly to make the turtle remark. How was staglation cured? Answer: Reagonomics. (Note: since the CATO piece, Reagan's growth figures have been raised, and Clinton's have been lowered. It not turns out that despite the early recession, the average growth rate in the Reagan years was almost the same as the average growth rate in the Clinton years).......

The wealth disparity will always grow so long as there is inflation. FYI - Inflaition is a condition induced by liberal policies.
