One of the problems I have with it is how the minimum wage doesn't really help the poor people. Is there anything done to measure how equality is in the U.S.?
knowledge: Measured for all households, U.S. income inequality is comparable to other developed countries before taxes and transfers, but is among the highest after taxes and transfers, meaning the U.S. shifts relatively less income from higher income households to lower income households.
response: Actually there are, measure have found that inequality of income is quite like other countries but before any taxes and transfers. Afterwards, the inequality gap increases as lower income households receive less from higher ones.
