re: From 1995 to 2004, inflation-adjusted median U.S. family income -- for families precisely in the middle -- rose 14.3% to $43,200, says the Federal Reserve. Can you reset that stat to "2001 to present"? And maybe add some depth by looking at specific income groups? The premise is wrong so the argument doesn't hold water.
