Steven Pearlstein again with another stellar column asking some questions that really haven’t been answered yet:
“Is it fair that the market economy has directed virtually all of the benefits of economic growth to the top 10 percent of households? No answer.
Given this increasingly unequal distribution of incomes, isn’t there room to make the tax code slightly more progressive? No answer.
Given that people with low incomes rely disproportionately on government services and transfer programs, wouldn’t a deficit reduction plan based solely on domestic spending cuts require more sacrifice from the poor than the rich? And why isn’t that as much class warfare as raising taxes on millionaires? Again, no answers.”
We’re waiting Mr. Ryan. We’re still waiting…
