tejek, re:Unfortunately, I have not been able to find that study I'm not sure it's necessary - the numbers sound reasonable. As for the rich getting richer, I'll bet that number changes negatively for the period 1999-2003 - you can't extrapolate those trends forever or the rich would have already owned 100% considering taxes were so much lower before the 1900's. You know what they say regarding how to get rich, the old fashioned way - inherit it. You could argue that people like Bill Gates, Chambers, McNealy and other high tech types created wealth as opposed to dividing up some finite pre-existing pie.
