We find that major reforms reducing taxes on the rich lead to higher income inequality as
measured by the top 1% share of pre-tax national income. The effect remains stable in the
medium term. In contrast, such reforms do not have any significant effect on economic growth
and unemployment.

You're welcome.

    Imbecile. If people want to read a partisan analysis of economics, they can always look at the drivel that Paul Krugman produces. You're thought of as the gimp from pulp fiction around these parts.

    Despite the fact that 2019 was my best year financially in my entire life, little did I know how bad I had it on account of the Wealth Gap between me and Mark Zuckerberg increasing.
    2020 will be even better. When I got out of college in the early 90's, making $30,000 a year was pretty damn good. Kids coming out of college today with lame degrees are still making $30,000/yr. But how much was rent back then vs. today? Most young people are brainwashed into believing what dipshits like the dazzler have to sell and little do they understand what the future has in store for them. My 3 kids should survive because they're all conservatives.
