Strange ...

It is really rich that Republicans are talking about income inequality.   And they have the cheek to say that it is Obama's policies that have resulted in the top 1% benefiting from the economic recovery!!   This after they stopped Obama at every step, on any measure he tried to take to address serious inequality.  And have severely eroded resources that enable equal opportunities for all.  What do they think we are all smoking?  

On 60 minutes on January 25, 2015 (paraphrased):

Interviewer Scott Pelley: Do you support raising taxes on the wealthy?
Republicans Boehner and McConnell: No.

Interviewer: Do you support the President's initiative for free community colleges?
Republicans: No.

Interviewer: How about raising the minimum wage?
Republicans: Bad idea.

Interviewer: Do you support increasing the child care tax credit?
Republicans: Well ... we will think about it.

How in the world can we address inequality without access to education, a living wage, and a host of other things?

How?

Republicans speaking about income inequality is the most blatant political shift ever.
