Shrinking Income Inequality

• bluefirebrand 6y ago
  > We have shown on these pages that Census Bureau income data fail to count two-thirds of all government transfer payments—including Medicare, Medicaid, food stamps and some 100 other government transfer payments—as income to the recipients That's because those things aren't income. Seriously trying to argue "Income Inequality isn't that bad because people got food stamps"? Holy crap.
