All wrong on income inequality

I take issue with commentator Gregg Bernstein's interpretation of data regarding income inequality ("Income inequality affects us all," April 26).

I read class envy and class warfare all through his piece. I never see him on the left attacking multimillion dollar athletes or musicians such as Lady Gaga or Katy Perry, or politicians like or Hillary Clinton, for the hundreds of millions of dollars that they make. It wouldn't fit his narrative.

His comment on tax rates being lowered under President Reagan tries to connect correlation with causation. His logic is faulty. Whether you tax my $1 billion income at 70 percent or 35 percent does not matter. I still make $1 billion while the average household earns only a tiny fraction of that.
