Atlanta paper publishes Rubin op-ed

The Atlanta Journal-Constitution today published an op-ed piece offered through the Center for a Better South on income inequality. The author, Vanderbilt Law Dean Ed Rubin, argues that America's compension system is creating income disparities that approach Third World levels:

The theme that should be sounded is that the present distribution of income is simply unfair. Most of the adults in those lower four-fifths, even the ones in the lowest, work for a living, and most work as hard as the people in the top fifth. Our system is tilted against them.

The op-ed was taken from a FIVE QUESTIONS interview by the Center. To read the full, fascinating interview, go to:
