Title: not all i'd hoped...
Review: After reading both "Nickel and Dimed" and a wonderful novel called "Only in America" -- both of which dealt with income disparities and unemployment, I was ready to tackle this one, also recommended to me by a friend. Still I found the premise, that it's basically all the government's doing, a little tough to take. What about those entrepreneurs who succeed on their own, make it big, and yes, far outpace the average income in the U.S.? Is the gulf between rich and poor any wider now than, say, between Andrew Carnegie and the immigrant mill or factory worker? There's no doubt the rich enjoy special privilege, but it seems a bit simplistic to say that's the entire reason for inequality.
