    “The United States is getting accustomed to a completely crazy level of inequality,” Mr. Piketty said, with a degree of wonder. “People say that reducing inequality is radical. I think that tolerating the level of inequality the United States tolerates is radical.”
To be fair, conservatives wouldn't claim to be pro-economic inequality, they would claim that progressive income tax will not solve this inequality. My question to them then becomes, okay then what will? ....crickets.
