They just discovered an amberized dinosaur tail, with feathers still attached. If they re-do Jurassic Park with feathers, it's gonna look like a bad Vegas show.

Problem solving 101 will teach you to find the problem so you can quit wasting your time trying to come up with solutions to a symptom. I know, I know, it's hard to tell people that it's largely the fault of their parents and / or their community or worse yet themselves. -

I suspect we might get different reads on this if the orange line were set a bit higher -say to the "bottom" 60% or 70% or even 75%. Where I think perspectives would change for a lot of folks is when the line starts to line up with what their incomes are right now. I don't know for sure, but I'm guessing that for a lot of folks here, those lines are pretty flat too. And I would not exactly characterize them as slackers, but it might be just me."I've made a note never to piss you two off." - Stike -
Curves are not surprising. When you rig the game it is easy to win. The top .05% play the game like a 6 year old. If someone else looks like they might win, they flip the board, scream and yell, then reset it up to their liking.They don’t want a population of citizens capable of critical thinking. They don’t want well informed, well educated people capable of critical thinking. They’re not interested in that. That doesn’t help them. That's against their interests. - George Carlin

However, you should examine my analysis closely.
What do they mean by "real" and "adjusted for inflation"? Is that like the unemployment figures if they were adjusted for the poor folks left behind in the job market? -
I think the information presented can be deceptive, as the $16,200 is an average income across the entire spectrum of the bottom 50%.
The CNN/money calculator indicates that someone making $55k a year or less is in the bottom 50%.

I suspect that will change the perspective for many folks."I've made a note never to piss you two off." - Stike -

And the tax rate for the Top 1% (not 5% as in the graph above) was 91% immediately after WWII, when we also had the greatest nat'l debt (as a percentage of GDP, not in absolute dollars). Now, it's (paging Mittens) 13%.
See how it works?_____________"Commander, say hello to Cricket!" - KN

Notice In this graphic how people gravitate around a stupid idea or chart which is meaningless at best. Interesting! There are some outliers but most are right in there. Thanks for looking.
