Re: Study Finds Rich-Poor Income Gap Growing

One thing that this study does not take into effect is mobility. Somoene who was in the bottom 20% 20 years ago could very easily be in the top 20% today.

Also, if you look at minimum wage workers, most are young, under 25, and that's the way it should be.

There are plenty of opportunities in this country for growth, it just seems to me like the bottom 20% didn't take advantage of it as well as the top 20% did.

Raising the minimum wage is NOT the answer. All it will do is drive up inflation. We really need to get rid of the minimum wage altogether.
