Quote of the Day: Income Inequality and Its Shibboleths

Here's an observation:
Arguments about the fairness of "income distribution" are not really arguments at all. They are tautologies that embed preconceived answers in the question, allowing no rebuttal.
Read the whole thing.  Was I just recently banging on about this general idea?  A parting zinger from the article:
Imagine a workers' paradise in which income inequality is eliminated by government command. Wait, we don't have to imagine. Go visit Cuba.
