Interesting thing about that chart is that there was a very large plunge that preceded Reagan, that occurred in the last half of the 70's.Who caused that?

Inequality per se is not a bad thing. Bill Gates making 6 billion dollars makes no one else worse off, in fact it made many millions of peoples lives better. However, Bill Gates making 6 billion dollars no doubt increased economic inequality in this country.

Question for you Hamilton. Since the the top 1% has 40% of all income, and pays 50% of all taxes. What percentage do you feel is fair? Tell me how much more than 50% would make you happy?

Sure when Obama came into office and had a filibuster proof Senate and House majority that really prevented him from doing anything. But, please keep calling people names, that really adds to your argument.

No comment that in about 2008 the graph goes, basically, straight up? It looks like the inequality went down under the Bush administration and then right back up and, likely, to its highest level under Obama. No article about that, huh?

Here’s my problems: There are now like 60 million people in America “left behind.” Corporate income can’t bring all those people along. Also, we are pissing away billions into public school systems. Can someone write an analysis that takes into account the collapse of public schools, and pleas don’t tell me we need…

To paraphrase the Duke, Life is hard. It’s harder when you’re unskilled.

My god will the hunt for people to blame never cease? What is with you? How many enemies do you need? Why, at the end of the election, are liberals so set on finding out-group enemies rather than looking in at ANYTHING they do or say?

Notably absent from this list, Hillary Clinton and Debbie Wasserman Shultz. They might have been Trump’s opposition but there is no way we have a president Trump without them.

Hahaha...When you say everyone you mean everyone that agrees with you. You know, because those are the only people you pay attention to. I’m not scared. You need to stop freaking out and harden up.

1. 2010 called and it wants it show back.

You’re trivializing genocide.

1. I lean conservative *gasp* but I can agree that Trump is boorish and is a few fries shy of a happy meal.

I’m no Trump supporter but this statement is so ignorant and downright disgusting.
