Our Gini Coeefcient dropped to about 40.8. Except for the fact that we've changed how we record our Gini coeefficent. Infact, it inflates our numbers by 2 points compared to previous numbers. Giving us a Gini coefficent of 38.8. Lowest Gini Coeefficent ever recorded in the US? 38.6. |
The GINI Coefficient was 36 in 1969.

Not only are you wrong, but you are arguing over a factor that fluctuates around 40, and claim that something big has happened because we actually dropped instead having a continued increase in inequality. In reality, the recession caused the short decline in the GINI Coefficient, but everything will go back to normal as the recession ends. So, whatever point you have is meaningless, unless you argue that we should be in a recession all the time.
And I dont expect you to admit you are wrong. In fact, I think the aluminum foil hat on your head looks good on you.
