The economic inequality that exists in this country will only be remedied once taxes are increased on the rich, preferably to the extent that existed when President Eisenhower, a Republican, was in office. Back then, the top marginal tax rate was around 90%. Now it's below 40%. Sadly, the bishops' choices for president and congress want to lower the top marginal tax rate, but the bishops knew this when they tacitly endorsed these Republicans in order to protect fetuses and stop gay marriage. Unfortunately for the bishops, they cannot eat their cake and have it too. They chose fetuses even while Roe v. Wade remains the law of the land. Now, poor people will get poorer and rich people richer, all thanks to the bishops' choices. We are what we choose, and the bishops chose. Now it's too late to complain that it's not working out the way that they wanted. Some of us could see very clearly prior to November 8, 2016 how this would all work out, and we were right. The bishops were wrong.
