There are two very interesting links below in reference to the necessity of combatting various forms of inequality. Some may feel income inequality is not an issue Democrats should campaign on and instead emphasize opportunity and growth inequality. Like the question on which voters Progressives and Democrats should appeal to. The answer is they should strive to attract everyone and they should address all aspects of inequality and that includes income, opportunity, and growth. Strategies to combat inequality and appeal to everyone should include programs like health care for all, free college tuition, national apprenticeships, living wages with regional minimum wages tied to inflation, an increase in tax incentives ranging from the earned income tax credit to research to the child one. As Bill Clinton said at his inaugural, "there is nothing that is wrong with America that can't be fixed with what is right with America." Democrats and Progressives should realize that.
