That may not be your intent but that's the consequence of the position you are taking. Not at all. Not accepting the idea that a moderate continuing increase in the disparity of wealth is a major problem justifying a large degree of government intervention, does not equal or imply that one doesn't give a damn about the poor. Sorry. By your own admission, the lowest quintile was ignored by Reynolds/Henderson. So you fixed the minor editing mistake, but you ignored the error of fact. I admitted no such thing, and if I did it would have been a false admission because the lowest quintile was not ignored. The lowest quintile was mentioned, and data was provided for it. That data backs up the point they where making. "Second, the CBO data show that between 1979 and 2000, average after-tax income in each quintile (fifth) of the household income distribution rose. For the lowest quintile, it rose from $13,500 to $14,600"
