Economic Myth-Busting Links

I was reading this piece that disputes the notion that the economic inequality between the rich and poor is increasing and thought to myself, "This is the article that I'll send to anyone who raises that false argument again." Then I realized that I have a couple more articles that I keep in my Favorites to refute popular misconceptions. So, I thought I would put then in one post so I can find them in the future:
