The same hypocrisy surrounds the issue of income and wealth inequality. In 2015, Ryan expressed his concern that income and wealth inequality were growing, that the rich were getting richer, while everyone else was remaining in place. Individuals with annual taxable incomes in excess of $426,700 and married couples with annual taxable incomes in excess of $480,050 get lower marginal rates. What about individuals with annual taxable incomes below $9,525 and married couples with taxable incomes below $19,050? And that is only one part of the apparent plan to increase, not decrease, income and wealth inequality.
