Klugman destroys Inequality Deniers and Piketty's critics.

Paul Klugman is great.  Glad to see him join the discussion.

Piketty makes the wealthy uncomfortable, Krugman says, as do all populist  demands for higher taxes on the rich.

But denying inequality, just like denying climate change is not about science or data, the columnist points out. It's politically motivated to protect groups with strong interests in denying the facts, or casting doubt on them.
