Family structure and values strongly correlated to economic mobility
From NCPA today:
Thoughts on income inequality
...American Enterprise Institute Fellow Jonah Goldberg explains that
liberals, in general, view inequality as a systemic problem -- that
income is a sort of common good that should be distributed evenly. If it
is not, the government or the system messed up. The right, he says,
tend to see inequality as a symptom: if the poor are falling behind, it
could be the result of poor job creation or stagnating wages. But
Goldberg notes that inequality can largely be driven by non-economic
issues. Family structure and values, he says, are much more strongly
correlated with economic mobility than is income inequality.
