Dan,

Yet, somehow, their share of the "pie" keeps going up at the same time their crooked and incompetent work is ruining the economy and sapping our nation's strength.

Ok, this evil fifth quintile that you are denouncing, I would not be surprised if you yourself were not a member. All it takes is income of $83,500 to be in the highest quintile, and if you have a working spouse, it is not something that is that difficult to achieve. Especially in high cost / high income parts of the country.

When those transfer payments are excluded from the income statistics, the bottom 20% of the population receives 0.9% of national income (rather than just under 4%)

There must be something wrong with your math here. I have studied the tables, and it is not that much. I could believe 0.9% reduction from 4.0%.

Joe
