The top 1 percent saw their income grow by 275 percent. According to The Century Foundation's Greg Anrig, those gains help explain the growing divide between more- and less-educated workers:

We know what you are thinking, and it is that you haven’t seen enough of Rep. Paul Ryan (R-WI) in the news lately. What has he been up to? Oh, nothing much, just saying lies about President Obama’s new budget proposal in his best sanctimonious voice, but it doesn’t really matter, because he is only the extremely powerful chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee, which is in charge of tax legislation.

It astounds how much power this jackass wields.
