You're right. Guess because the focus of the two articles was voters' perception of the economy vs the reality of it, and not the inequality question. That's likely why your elephant was not included. Again, it was because your article .. https://investorshub.advfn.com/boards/read_msg.aspx?message_id=173305429 .. dealt directly with the inequality question that i said "good one" and why, in my reply, i included the post linking to Hanauer

"The Top 1% of Americans Have Taken $50 trillion From the Bottom 90%—And That's Made the U.S. Less Secure

By Nick Hanauer and David M. Rolf
September 14, 2020 9:30 AM EDT

Hanauer is an entrepreneur and a venture capitalist, the founder of the public-policy incubator Civic Ventures, and the host of the podcast Pitchfork Economics.
Rolf is Founder and President Emeritus of SEIU 775 and the author of The Fight for Fifteen (New Press, 2016)

Like many of the virus’s hardest hit victims, the United States went into the COVID-19 pandemic wracked by preexisting conditions. A fraying public health infrastructure, inadequate medical supplies, an employer-based health insurance system perversely unsuited to the moment—these and other afflictions are surely contributing to the death toll. But in addressing the causes and consequences of this pandemic—and its cruelly uneven impact—the elephant in the room is extreme income inequality.

How big is this elephant? A staggering $50 trillion. That is how much the upward redistribution of income has cost American workers over the past several decades.

Knew that heading was familiar -- Your buddy B402 posted it ..

Ok, i posted a reference to it earlier .. The wealthiest 1% has taken $50 trillion from working Americans
and redistributed it, a new study finds. Here's what that means.

Inequality is a huge problem worldwide. And becoming more of a problem in Australia too.
Note also Business Insider isn't exactly left-wing.

Always good to be reminded of stuff.

It was Plato who said, “He, O men, is the wisest, who like Socrates, knows that his wisdom is in truth worth nothing”
