Bloomberg proposes deducing income inequality by increasing the earned income tax credit as a way to increase the real-world income of low wage earners, which he believes will lead employers to increase hiring vs raising the minimum wage, which he believes reduces jobs.

Bloomberg says the way you solve the problem of wealth inequality by creating opportunity and creating jobs.

He may be right or wrong, but the OP paints a false scenario.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
