No argument, and to look at the other side of the coin, we see income inequality as "those greedy rich people" while the ranks of the poor have been swelling reproductively, at a rate double everyone else at the lowest end.

in the us there are way more households making less than $10k/year (mostly white FWIW) so I would say, yah it stands to reason at the 50,000 foot level.

poor people, in the us anyway do breed a lot faster, and now there are a lot more of them, skewing the stats about wealth inequality. Now the pope wants a war on poverty after telling everyone that they will go to hell if they use contraceptives?!?
