Income Inequality - Whose Fault?

James Pethokoukis, writing in AEI Ideas about the impact of income inequality on the 2014 midterm election. Hat tip to National Review for the link.
Even if the economy picks up steam and incomes rise, voters may not get much happier since they will think things would be even better if not for income inequality — a natural conclusion based on what the Obamacrats have been saying. They will think their relative position hasn’t improved much since they are not keeping up with the 1% Joneses. And are voters likely to blame Republicans for this state of affairs, given that this is Year Six of the Obama presidency and the GOP only holds the House?
We'll know in November.
