Obama on the Income Gap

I started a thread on today's fast food workers strike in the Current Events thread, and I thought this deserved its own rather than be lumped in over there.

Obama gave the strikers a shout out in his Anacostia speech yesterday, which I was glad to hear, personally, but I particularly like this address:

Quote:

Obama told the audience that economic inequality could no longer be viewed as a "minority issue". He said the gap in test scores between rich and poor children was now "nearly twice" that between black and white students. "The opportunity gap in American now is a much about class as it is about race, and that gap is growing," he said.
