Your sources are having some apples and oranges problems as to capital vs. income. Again, I know the irs statistics of income are the Kevin Phillips source and the wsj source.

>>These disparities are growing. In the past twenty years, the after-tax income of the wealthiest 1 percent of the population increased by 119.7 percent, whereas the bottom 60 percent grew by only 12 percent. <<

Apparently the agenda of the liberals is working as more people are unwilling to get off their butts and make a living and increase their value, instead they have the mistaken belief that they'll get rich by the liberals socialist agenda of stealing from the rich and redistributing to the lazy.
