The Equality Quagmire (Made Worse) By Robert J. Samuelson
In a no-need-to-read piece in today's Washington Post, someone named Robert J. Samuelson makes a hash out of a barely-discernible thesis relating in some way to rising inequality in America and why it really isn't such a bad thing:
- "It has not prevented most Americans from getting ahead."
- "On the whole, the economy that produces these growing inequalities outperforms the one that created [sic] more statistical equality."
Not sure which tense that sentence was in, but it's not as mind-numbing as this one, for those who like brain teasers:
- "The idea that everyone's wages should reflect inflation plus a few percentage points worsened both inflation and stability."
Quagmire indeed.
