The far right is about the only group that think there is no income/wealth inequality
there is some income inequality to be sure but much of it is caused by liberal culture and liberal welfare programs that encourge HS drop-outs to become single mothers.
There is great book out called "Never Enough" which puts various welfare payments at 15 times what they were in 1970, adjusted for inflation. What do you expect?
The Gini index in China is now higher than the US, but this is a good thing as it reflects the growing number who are participating in the capitalist economy. Like in the US, if everyone participated inequality would not be problematic.
