You guys see that recent article that said our wage gap has been increasing since the 80's and is now the 3rd largest? We have the richest rich and the poorest poor here, and it's not only killing our poor, it's killing our economy.

Since the 80's? How about since WW2.

Except not.

Last Years Gini CoEfficent was down to Clinton era levels.

Oddly enough Bush has been the best Gini Coefficient president since WW2.

 

In that picture it looks like it was going up and down for a while, and had a drop at the beginning of the 80s and then skyrocketed for 20 years.

 

Here's the article I was talking about.  I started a thread for it 2 days ago, but nobody but Jackson responded, so it faded away.
