Eliminating such restrictions would reduce at least some of the income inequality  (Income Inequality Quotes) The increase in inequality in income is a longtime trend, but the pressure on middle- and low-income workers is going up rapidly. Especially if they live in an area where there are high housing and gas prices, like California  (Income Inequality Quotes) I’m 40 years old. What I have seen my whole life is widening income inequality  (Income Inequality Quotes) One of the most important of all the causes of great inequality of income is the inheritance of a great fortune by a small minority  (Income Inequality Quotes) Increasing inequality in income distribution in this country has broader policy implications, and there is also the growing problem of perverse incentives that result from executives receiving grossly disproportionate compensation based on decisions they themselves take  (Income Inequality Quotes) Conventional wisdom on government's role in inequality often has it backwards. Tax reforms have resulted in a more progressive federal income tax; government transfer payments have become less progressive  (Income Inequality Quotes) Income inequality and wage stagnation finally took their place among the principal moral issues of our time  (Income Inequality Quotes) The difference between rich and poor is becoming more extreme, and as income inequality widens the wealth gap in major nations, education, health and social mobility are all threatened  (Income Inequality Quotes) Income inequality has no necessary connection with poverty, the lack of material resources for a decent life, such as adequate food, shelter, and clothing.
