The Economic Policy Institute has put together an amazing interactive chart that shows the growth of incomes in the US over the past 90 years--broken down by who the gains went to.
Read this short article by Henry Blodget! Good historical context there, as well as shocking evidence of elite greed.
Bottom line, "In the past 30 years, 96% of the growth of average incomes in this country have gone to the richest 10% of the country. And in the past 10 years, the incomes of the other 90% have declined."
Wonder why global unrest is igniting?
