RICH AND POOR

Todays WSJ?OTD is

"Should the widening gap between rich and poor be a significant issue in this year's elections?"

Hell, yes!

But only half of the other respondents agreed with me.

This is a traditional Republican / Democrat issue split so I am not surprised. And the WSJ has to be predominantly GOP.

I am a traditional Democrat and beyond. I believe in the minimum wage. I also think that there should be a progressive tax rate.

Those two things would support some of the disparity.

But, I am sure that most of it is outside the reach of any government.

Greed is not legislatible. But, elected office can be a bully pulpit.
