Income inequality impairs the American dream of upward mobility - debate [VIDEO]
This is a fascinating topic. As in many complex topics there is at least a grain of truth to both sides of the debate. We should not be seeking exact equality. There will always be huge differences between the rich and poor for many reasons which are mentioned in the debate.
The elephant in the room that I did not hear in the debate is that the question should have not used the word inequality. Instead they should have used the word inequity.
"Income inequity impairs the American dream of upward mobility."
