Although economic inequality is often discussed, almost no one actually thinks of inequality as their highest political priority. According to Gallup, as of early March only three percent of Americans say the “gap between rich and poor” is the most important problem facing the country today. To be fair, that’s up from two percent in February and one percent in January. (At that rate, more than one in 10 Americans will say inequality is the biggest issue on Election Day.)

In all seriousness, though, that low number raises an interesting question: should government policy actually focus less on decreasing inequality?
