The Myth of American Inequality (2912)

Former Senator Gramm, R,1985-2002, where he served as Chairman of the Senate Banking Committee, and author of the Reagan budget in the House, an economist, and co-author of The Myth of American Inequality, makes a case that what we think we know about income inequality, poverty, and other measures of economic well-being in America are inaccurate.

He joins host Dennis McCuistion, in a robust discussion giving the reasons why our measurements have been consistently inaccurate. He states , income inequality is not a growing threat and that in fact, it is lower today than at any time in post-WW ll America.
