Is income inequality unjust? | Chicago Libertarian

Is income inequality unjust? Chicago Libertarian: But I digress. Income inequality is unjust when it is brought about by government interference in the marketplace. It's unjust, for example, when government prohibits the sale of incandescent light bulbs, thereby steering business toward General Electric for its expensive fluorescent bulbs. And it's unjust when the least skilled and poorest among us are priced out of the labor market by minimum wage laws. In both cases, the gap between rich and poor expands because government thought it knew best.?
