Excessive inequality
To the Editor:
I am amazed when rich politicians charge that redistribution of income is class warfare. Indeed, class warfare has been waged for the past three decades, but it was the rich who have redistributed income from the middle class to themselves.
The income of the top 20 percent of households is now greater than the other 80 percent combined, and they own 85 percent of the nation’s total wealth. Yet they whine about paying 60 percent of the taxes.
