The Fight Against Inequality

Republicans talk about “inequality” more often than Democrats. Republicans’ talking point is that Democrats favor Equality of Outcomes while Republicans favor Equality of Opportunity and consequential Inequality of Outcomes. This is, of course, political posturing, as NO Democrat (not Robert Reich, not Bernie Sanders, not Elizabeth Warren, not even AOC) has ever suggested that he wishes for Equality of Outcomes; and when they have had the power, Republicans have never advanced any legislation to address Equality of Opportunity for disadvantaged persons.
