You do realize your charts are pretty off base right?
1) Minimium wage... why?
The incomes of the bottom income group has increased 80% between 1991 and 2005. Less people are making minimium wage then ever... including less poor people.
2) More then half of the people in the top 1% in 1996 were no longer in the top 1% by 2005. More then half the people in the lowest bracket had moved out of it... with 5.3% of those people being in that same top 1%.
3) The top 20%'s income has actually dropped against the bottom 20% recently.
4) The recent economic indicators seem to suggest the richest people are actually going to take an even harder hit... as can be seen by the Gini Coeefcient rocketing down for the first time ever....
5) You aren't taking included any taxes.
6) According to the US Census Beueru the total percentage of income of the top 5% has stayed flat from 88 to 04.
