A Year of Inequality: Scourge or Spur?

Hosted by Matt Miller, Robert Scheer and Rich Lowry Dec. 27, 2013 Politics
The meaning of inequality here and abroad, what should we be doing about it? Then, some holiday gifts.

President Obama has said inequality is the major issue of our time. The Pope says it's of major concern. Are there pros and cons to inequality? Rich Lowry says inequality is inherent to a free society. Bob Scheer disagrees. Then, our panel presents gifts of appreciation to each other.
