The reason why wealth inequality has skyrocketed has less than nothing to do with the buying power of a single dollar. It's completely missing the cause.

I don’t think anyone is actually talking about the cause. Doesn’t make their point any less valid.

It kinda' does make it less valid when using it first is an implication away from the root cause.

We should not glorify red herring thought patterns.
