Forbes by Brian S. Wesbury And Robert Stein | Oct. 27, 2009 (Opinion)
Truth and demagoguery in the income-inequality debate.

The rich are getting richer and the poor are getting poorer. You've heard it over and over again. Many free-market economists have argued against the conventional wisdom, only to be dismissed as out of touch.

I often find Forbes to be a reasonably good source. This is the top story in their daily morning newsletter. I'm downgrading my source rating for Forbes from 4 to 3 as this opinion piece offers so little information to substantiate any claims other than an "incredible" paper on the topic written by Gordon. I'll seek links to the paper and information on Gordon to provide further research sources for those who wish to evaluate this highly opinionated piece further.
