Study: Blue states have the income-inequality blues

It is no surprise that President Obama should be keenly aware of income inequality: He has to look no farther than his own neighborhood to find the most extreme case of it, according to a new study by MoneyRates.com.

The study finds that Washington, D.C. has a greater degree of income inequality than any of the 50 states, and that the states that voted for Obama in 2012 suffer more from income inequality than those that voted for Mitt Romney. However, the study's findings also raise questions about whether a higher level of income inequality is actually a bad thing......

Damn those red states. They just keep screwing up the liberal talking points.

Obviously you didn't read the study or you would know your statement has nothing to do with the reason.

Perhaps I'll become a Red State snow bird. Just think I could enjoy the humid summers and watch toothless 400 pounders in tank tops and shorts in Mississippi then winter in tornado alley.

That is four insults today by campingken who still has not read the study.

Pretty phoney conclusions. The reds states have lots of poor people and not enough wealthy people. Washington DC is mostly poor blacks ringed by wealth. Duh! It doesn't really matter anyway as wealth inequality is more the result of national policy that affects everyone. Yet again the right wing press spins another yarn based on illogical thinking to give some red meat to their delusional subjects.

"MoneyRates.com looked at income inequality in all 50 states, plus the District of Columbia, by using the most recent annual wage data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics, as well as data from the previous 10 years in order to measure changes.

Rather than examining outliers -- such as the salaries for the very richest or very poorest workers -- MoneyRates.com focused its measures on income inequality on a comparison between wages at the top 25th percentile and wages at the bottom 25th percentile. The intent here was to capture a gap that's affecting a broad range of workers."

If you had read the report you would not look so silly with your posts.
