| damn who peed on his cornflakes . . ahhh too many punches in the head while boxing . . the income disparity is real and has grown in the last 30 years, i mean the kids might be crybabies, thats another point, but facts are facts: A CBO study in 2011 found that the top 1% of households gained about 275% over a period between 1979 and 2007, although this number has decreased somewhat since 2007 as a result of the Great Recession. The increase is far above other income levels, especially the bottom 80%, whose share of national income growth declined over this period. As of 2006, the United States had one of the highest levels of income inequality, as measured through the Gini index, among similar high income countries or developed countries, being one of only a few developed countries where inequality has increased since 1980. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Income_inequality_in_the_United_Stateslefty | |
