In this article the author argues against the notion of income inequality in the U.S. He cites the book "Capital in the Twenty-First Century" by French economist Thomas Piketty on income inequality and immobility and statistics from an analysis of tax data from the Congressional Budget Office for after-tax income trends from 1979-2010 by Brookings Institution economist Gary Burtless. A discussion on why the pie metaphor in economics is deceptive and income mobility is presented.
