"The wealthiest 20 percent of households in 1973 accounted for 44 percent of total U.S. income, according to the Census Bureau. Their share jumped to 50 percent in 2002, while everyone else's fell. For the bottom fifth, the share dropped from 4.2 percent to 3.5 percent." Still doesn't support your claim. Falling shares, however long ago they happened, are not the same as becoming poorer. Additional schooling is surely in order. Oh, and speaking of straw men ... "This is coming from someone who supports the right and presumably its president......a man who says "nucklar" for nuclear, tries to back rub the chancellor of Germany and looks the other way when Israel bombs the hell out of Lebanon?" I can hear you singing the song now - "if I only had a brain ..." PS: For the record, he pronounces it new-ku-lar, not nucklar. If you're going to make fun, at least try to get a clue as to his actual mispronunciation.
