Seeing more clearly

Over at Bizzyblog we find Top 5 Economic Myths in the US Today (with supporting links and material).
Myth Number 5. The “need” for universal health insurance, or at least near-universal insurance for children.

Myth Number 4. America is de-industrializing, and manufacturing is dying.

Myth Number 3. We are in a recession (not heading for one, actually IN one).

Myth Number 2. Most people are just scraping by.

And the Number 1 Economic Myth in the America Today Is ….. Income inequality is growing, the rich are getting richer, and they aren’t paying their fair share of taxes.
Just a little perspective.
