Hm, the biggest change is from 1994 to 2000. Really, if it wasn't for that time period and 2003, that chart wouldn't look bad at all. It shoots up a bit under Reagan as he fixes the economy, the falls down and meanders up and down a lot until 1994-2000.
What horrible rich loving, poor hating Republican was in office at that time?
Oh... right.
So all that's left is 2003. Which was the money made off the GFC Bubble. Which was mostly all lost after the GFC burst.... (Which by the way is the funny part. If you'll notice, your chart stops at 2006 for the rich, 2009 for everyone else... because it wouldn't look good if they showed how much money the rich lost between 2006-2009.)
so yeah... the big Republican who the 1% apparently love and caused this problem is Bill Clinton.
Who coincidentally supports the Obama economic plan... saying it's just like when he was in office.
I mean...
Clinton - +130% Change or so?
So that leaves about 110% For Bush+Bush+Reagan.
Or to put it another way
Democrat Increase in wealth disparity per term - 60%.
Republican increase in wealth dispairty per term - 22%
So I have to ask...which Party's presidents have helped the rich get disproportionatly richer more? The answer is... Democratic Presidents. Both per term and just by rank number on the stats you provided. Which is amazing considering there was only 1... and it doesn't count the 2 years in drop under Bush. 06-08.
