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." Still doesn't support your claim. Falling shares, however long ago they happened, are not the same as becoming poorer. Additional schooling is surely in order. No, of course not. It means they are buying a new house in Beverly Hills. Is there any other silliness you have to offer?
