Even Greenspan Thinks Wage Inequalty a Problem

Amazing, even Ayn Rand discipline Alan Greenspan thinks the widening gap between the earnings of richer and poorer workers is a problem:

"We do have problems with the distribution of income," he said. "The skill premium for skilled workers versus lesser-skilled continues to widen.
"Real wages have been rising," he said, but "there's been a disproportionate rise in the 20 percent of payrolls which were supervisory workers," who have higher qualifications, while the wages of hourly workers have "barely budged."
