Opportunity equality is what we guarantee as a nation. Income equality is another story best left for the socialist nations and the repeated failures in the annals of history.  

But, it comes as no surprise that the hypocrisy of liberals and progressives is shown clearly in that the most liberal cities in America have the widest spread in income classes.

A study by the Brookings Institution (known to be a liberal think tank) used Census data to determine the most income unequal cities in America. Their study found that cities with liberal governments are the ones with the largest divide between the poor and the rich.

Alan Barube, the report's author, found that cities with vast income differences will have issues with education, job creation and middle class families leaving. He also points out that with President Obama and other Democrats pushing the agenda of an increased minimum wage and President Obama directly addressing income inequality, these statistics could have a political impact.

Los Angeles is one of the top 10 cities in America for income inequality, with the top 5% earning 12 times more than the bottom 20% of residents. New York City , Oakland , Washington and Chicago ranked alongside LA.

The data shows that the income disparity is even greater in San Francisco, Atlanta, Boston and Miami.
