FILE - In this Dec. 4, 2013 file photo, President Barack Obama speaks about the economy and growing economic inequality, at the Town Hall Education Arts Recreation Campus in Washington. The president said the income gap between America's rich and poor is a "defining challenge of our time." Some of the wealth gap’s earliest champions - a group of bearded and tattooed protesters who called themselves Occupiers - made the problem famous in 2011 when they took up residence in a small granite plaza near the New York Stock Exchange. Two and a half years later, long after Occupy Wall Street fizzled out, income inequality is finally being taken seriously by world leaders. (AP Photo/ Evan Vucci)
