I haven't quoted the NYT op ed page. That was Sebby, too. But thanks for playing.

Sebby is right on about this stuff.

Which Sebby? The one with the Reynolds article from the WSJ, or the one with all of the other people who say that inequality is increasing? My and President Bush are with the second Sebby.
Quote:
When you talk about inequality statistics you have to get right down to the numbers. Not summaries or conclusions based on numbers because the statistics are just way to easy to manipulate. The definitions and concepts are all way to vague.
You want to show me that the "gap is widening", or inequality is becoming more prounced (and both of the phrases are open to huge interpretation differences) then only the hard numbers, and where they come from, really have any relevence.

You mean your ipso facto isn't worth much? OK.
