I was tired of repeating the same ole same ole.
So you lied since the facts woulsdn't support your case.

a man who says "nucklar" for nuclear
Your mispellling od the mispronunciation has been noted elsewhere. But did you know Jimmy Carter pronounces it "nuk-u-lar"?

Sorry, guy, but you all do not have any credibility when it comes to intellect or anything else for that matter.
Coming from someone with the ignorance you have demonstrated, this is no insult.

"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."

Year Billions of chained 2000 US dollars
1973 4296.367
2002 9986.823

So:
.042*4296.367 = 180.47
.035*9967.823 = 348.88

or, to put it more clearly, the income of the lower population in fact DID increase between the cited years; it al;mosr doubled, in fact. Note that this is in stable dollars;inflation has been accounted for.

You were saying?
