MK Dr. Nachman Shai (Kadima) attacked Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu following the publication of an OECD report that placed Israel alongside the US at the head of a list of countries with the greatest socioeconomic disparity.
"The prime minister's vision has come true - America is here!" Shai proclaimed.
Shai added, "But instead of creating a liberal democratic society that is open, tolerant and multi-cultural like America, we have copied the piggish capitalism, concentration of wealth, and merciless economic paradigm that generates growing gaps between rich and poor."
