Which is to say, that his articles must be taken independently. His opinions on other issues are not discussed, so it's easy to build a strawman about his other opinions.
That also means that we must point out the fact that this article is only a small subset of data, that really tells us only what the data was collected on.

Of all the academic types at rightwing think tanks like AEI, Heritage, Cato, Russ Roberts is probably the best. I like him. But this issue - wealth inequality- is core to rightwing interests.
