Disparities
Did you know that Richard Florida over at CityLab mapped various measures of inequality across the United States. His point is that “America’s economic divide registers in what we can afford to buy, the education we have the opportunity to attain and, most basically, how much time we have to live.”

NPR’s Planet Money showed the rise and fall in inequality in the United States in two graphics. Its point: It’s different now. The Washington Post republished it and improved upon it.

And, The Atlantic looked at usage differences across international borders. Wonkblog chose to focus on what emoji use says about each country and its language.

Disparity
With rising income, and healthcare access, inequality in the United States, you might expect more and more people to conclude that it’s time to soak the rich. Here’s a puzzle, though: Over the last several decades, close to the opposite has happened.
Since the 1970s, middle-class incomes have been stagnant in inflation-adjusted terms, while the wealthy have done very well; inequality of wealth and income has risen.
Over that same period, though, Americans’ views on whether the government should work to redistribute income — to tax the rich, for example, and funnel the proceeds to the poor and working class — have, depending on which survey answers you look at, either been little changed, or shifted toward greater skepticism about redistribution.
In other words, Americans’ desire to soak the rich has diminished even as the rich have more wealth available that could, theoretically, be soaked.
