- igravious 8y agoDon't know why you're being down-voted – unless of course our brothers and sisters and their kin who work in finance don't like being reminded of the great income and wealth disparity between them and those at the bottom of society. “For all of these uncertainties, the broad picture doesn’t change. My judgment is that we can be pretty confident that Ms. Anderson’s estimate that the sum of Wall Street bonuses is roughly twice the total amount paid to all full-time workers paid minimum wage seems like a fair characterization.” Thanks for the article. It is shocking. Where is the moral outrage? There are huge media-storms over all sorts of identity politics hoo-hah and a whimper every now and again over the Inequality Question.
