520    "Everything you know about income inequality, poverty and 
       other measures of economic well-being in America is wrong.
       In measuring income inequality, poverty and other indexes 
       of well-being our government does not count two-thirds of 
       all transfer payments that are received or any of the 
       taxes paid. When we get our facts straight poverty has 
       virtually been eliminated, income inequality is lower than
       it was in 1947 and America is still the great land of 
       opportunity"--|cProvided by publisher.
