Rep. Barney Frank, D-Mass., put it somewhat differently. But the new chairman of the House Financial Services Committee vowed to tackle the growing, festering problem of "income inequality." "Government doesn't have to interfere with the free enterprise system," says Frank, "but we can work along with it to reduce inequality." ...

What does Frank propose to do about the "income inequality" in, say, baseball? New York Yankee Alex Rodriguez several years ago signed a contract for a quarter-billion dollars. That's "b" as in "bodacious." Pity the teammate who toils at the league minimum of $380,000 a year. Will Smith reportedly gets $20 million per picture. Most members of the Screen Actors Guild work at other non-acting jobs just to make ends meet.

What exactly is the appropriate gap? How wide should it be? Presumably Mr. Frank possesses the divine wisdom to know when the gap is jus-s-s-st right.

income inequality is what makes america great, without it there is no incentive to work or achieve

what happens to hard work when there is nothing to be gained from it?

If Mr. Frank is so concerned about the income gap then why does Congress keep voting itself raises every few years? Sure seems like they are trying "widen" the gap between us and them.

They have a retirement plan that pays more thaan their regular salary, in a lot of cases. I personally believe they should be in the SS fund and ONLY SS. They should take care of their own 401.

That, at the same time, is why capitalism works and socialism fails!

No they're not - they're the hired hands and they're way overpaid........

"Hired hands?" I wouldn't insult hired hands by comparing them to "Con"-gress.

I suggest that they get their welfare bums off the dole and put them to work, and they'll see an improvement in the 'income inequality.'
