This article does such a bad job of criticizing an already-unpopular theory that I found myself defending it. "The evidence is clear," "studies have repeatedly shown," and "analysis showed," would be a lot more convincing if the evidence, studies, and analysis were actually explained. Not to mention that focusing on income inequality doesn't disprove the idea of "a rising tide lifts all ships." It's possible the absolute wealth and standard of living of the poorest might increase while inequality also increases.

Yes, I felt the same way. It felt like Allen Iverson's "Practice' press conference. Just because you repeat your opinion over and over doesn't make for an argument.
