It's interesting that you're an Entrepreneur (not a Special Rapporteur on extreme poverty and human rights) and yet you've rendered this entire report meaningle

  I read it. He presents no evidence that the recent tax reform has exacerbated the wealth gap. Of course, he couldn’t have, because the reforms were only recently passed, and thus it is not possible to know what the long-term outcome will be. By his own admission, he framed the entire report in light of his false statement of fact made at the beginning. So, while there are some interesting factual tidbits sprinkled throughout the report, any conclusions that it reaches based upon those facts are meaningless, because they are colored by the false statement of fact.

    "stakes out America's bid" implies that this is intention and not result yet, so he's not claiming that it's happened yet.

  Rest of his report is kind of strange also eg: * Neglected tropical diseases, including Zika, are increasingly common in the USA * > 424 symptomatic Zika virus disease cases reported* > 414 cases in travelers returning from affected areas > 4 cases acquired through presumed local mosquito-borne transmission in Florida (N=2) and Texas (N=2) > 6 cases acquired through sexual transmission There were ~10 cases were people got infected by zika while in united states. How is spending more money on public health going to prevent people getting infected while traveling to affected areas. https://www.cdc.gov/zika/reporting/2017-case-counts.html https://www.cdc.gov/zika/reporting/2017-case-counts.html
