True, except the part about “one of the most secure buildings on the planet.” Remember when that guy jumped the fence and rushed the White House? What high-tech system did they have to stop him? A dog. Which they kept leashed. https://t.co/9dbXsxjCk4 https://t.co/cEPt3W0KdU

Tim Noah argues “the gap between the bottom and the middle” isn’t what “experts talk about.” It’s what they should talk about! The bottom 10% were the group in danger of dropping out of the mainstream. If you care about social equality, that’s the biggest income problem. 1/ https://t.co/yWlQ3BlBHV

Instead, Noah zeroes in on the problem of the middle class. “It was not lousy, in 1979, to be middle class.” It’s lousy now. But that seems like first, a problem of the income stagnation Noah cites, not inequality. Would it be less lousy if Zuckerberg were 1/100th as rich? 2/
