I made no claims. You did. You said "the rich are getting richer at the expense of the poor and the middle class." That statement is not supported by the graph you linked. I know. When I posted the graph, I said the rich are getting richer. The graph supports that premise. Later, I added the statement that the rich are getting richer at the expense of the lesser classes. You see......I was expanding on my original comment.....to make things more interesting. You understand......posting with you guys is like going around in circles. I was tired of repeating the same ole same ole. In any case, the second statement also is true but you are right the graph does not support it. If you don't understand why, I could explain it to you, but you probably wouldn't listen, anyway. Perhaps some more schooling could help you see your mistake. You're kidding? 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? Sorry, guy, but you all do not have any credibility when it comes to intellect or anything else for that matter. In any case, I guess you need to see something that explains the premise behind my second statement that the rich are getting richer at the expense of the lesser classes.....well here........knock yourself out: "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." seattlepi.nwsource.com BTW there are these devises called search engines with names like google and dogpile.......with them assisting, you can do your own searches. Just a heads up!
