 Hotair: ... Biden's four years on the throne saw a dramatic shift in that attitude from disaster response and service to prioritizing the rewarding of constituencies with assistance in the middle of crises. Thanks once again to another revealing tranche of White House documents, FEMA, under the control of arch villain, Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas,  became a massive Democratic voter registration  organ. Those lists and registrations then determined who received first dibs on any aid disbursed in a time of disaster. ...The worst offender was FEMA, the Federal Emergency Management Agency, under the Department of Homeland Security, which was controlled for four years by Biden’s Machiavellian border buster  Alejandro Mayorkas . When responding to an emergency or a natural disaster, FEMA employees were directed to make voter registration a “key priority.” They politically targeted vulnerable people in their hour of need instead of fo...

The US is only 42nd (out of 117 countries measured) in income inequality, according to the World Bank. We’re only 16th when it comes to the wealth held by the top 1%. Inequality is to some extent a residual effect of success: If there weren’t any billionaires or millionaires, inequality would be vastly diminished. America at...

James Q. Wilson: There is no doubt that incomes are unequal in the United States — far more so than in most European nations. This fact is part of the impulse behind  the Occupy Wall Street movement , whose members claim to represent the 99 percent of us against the wealthiest 1 percent. It has also sparked a major debate in the Republican presidential race, where former Massachusetts governor Mitt Romney has come  under fire for his tax rates  and his career as the head of a private-equity firm.  And  economic disparity was the recurring theme of President Obama’s State of the Union address  on Tuesday. “We can either settle for a country where a shrinking number of people do really well, while a growing number of Americans barely get by,” the president warned, “or we can restore an economy where everyone gets a fair shot and everyone does their fair share.”  But the mere existence of income inequality tells us little about what, if anythin...
