Not exactly true. Of the 10 states with the highest Gini coefficients, only California, New York, Massachusetts and Connecticut can be described as liberal. Others like Texas, Mississippi, Alabama and Louisiana really cannot. Florida and Georgia, it depends on the part of the state.

>> No it hasn't. This would appear to be a false claim made by liberals. Programs with the specific intent of reducing income inequality often end up exacerbating it as the Democrats wealthy figure out how to make money on it (see: Affordable Care Act).

One of the most ironic sights is the drive southbound on North Capitol Street in D.C. In the distance you see the Capitol, but when you look to your left and your right, you see urban blight. Dude, have you been to DC recently? Its so gentrified that its no longer majority black. That's how miserably liberalism has failed to bridge the gap between rich and poor. In trying hard to do that, they accomplish the exact opposite. And yet the biggest gaps between rich and poor are in southern red states. How can that be, o wise one?
