Thanks in part to Piketty's book (which BTW just arrived from Amazon).

I am saying that if Faux News is beginning to talk about inequality, there must be something very wrong in capitalistic paradise.

I haven't read Piketty's book yet. If there are interesting things there worth quoting, I shall do so. You are welcome to not read them if you find them boring.

Yes. And the fact that they have to say it -- rather than ignore the issue -- indicates a greater awareness of the issue than before.
