@zackkanter naive. Have you ever looked at how wealth inequality intersects with land values or government policy?1 reply 0 retweets 2 likes -

@kimmaicutler yep, and you're right. But I'm arguing against the individual 'he makes 300x more than I do' argument. Macro is more complex.1 reply 0 retweets 1 like -

@kimmaicutler though I think policy issues have more to do w/cronyism than income ineq. We should close loopholes & anti-competitive regs.1 reply 0 retweets 0 likes -

@zackkanter OK but where does the ability to influence regulation or have the ear of legislators come from? Money is a powerful element.1 reply 0 retweets 1 like -

@kimmaicutler sure, taking away all the money from the rich would reduce influence over regs. But I don't think that's the best solution.2 replies 0 retweets 1 like -

@zackkanter no one is arguing that. That is a crazy straw man argument.1 reply 0 retweets 1 like
@kimmaicutler seems like it's a regulatory campaign finance issue, not related to income inequality.
