Interesting, Utah has the least income inequality of all the states and a minimum wage of $7.25. Washington has the highest minimum wage and has much more income inequality sitting around the middle. HMMMMMMM interesting.

More interesting, the top 3 states with the least income inequality are all red states. 6 of the top 10 most equal are red states. 4 of the 5 states with the most inequality are blue.

Just goes to show that Democrat economic policies are based on nothing more than talking points and making victims out of everyone to score votes. They like to talk about how worried they are about income inequality, but once again, when it comes to governing, they fail.

Oh right. Gini coefficients are BS when they don't fit the liberal agenda or they make liberals look silly.

Oy ve. Not this again.

Do a search link at top of forum, every year a person posts how great red states are doing. At least ten threads last year. And no red states aren't doing well. Ask all the people abandoning their homes in SW Virginia and W Virginia. Reality check.

Reality check. This is about income inequality. Utah is the most equal state. The top 3 are all red. 4 of the 5 states with the most inequality are blue. That is a fact.

Dont worry you wont embarrass anyone. Like you stated anyone can cherry pick stats to fit their argument.

Bluestates should do what work for them- Red states should do what works for them. Different dynamics, industries and cultures to a degree.

Do you realize how many retitrees are fleeing the northeast blue states every year for states like Florida who do not have an income tax and have relatively low property taxes??
