A Guide to Statistics on Historical Trends in Income Inequality

  • The years from the end of World War II into the 1970s were ones of substantial economic growth and broadly shared prosperity.

    • Incomes grew rapidly and at roughly the same rate up and down the income ladder, roughly doubling in inflation-adjusted terms between the late 1940s and early 1970s.
    • The income gap between those high up the income ladder and those on the middle and lower rungs — while substantial — did not change much during this period.
  • Beginning in the 1970s, economic growth slowed and the income gap widened.


    • Income growth for households in the middle and lower parts of the distribution slowed sharply, while incomes at the top continued to grow strongly.
    • The concentration of income at the very top of the distribution rose to levels last seen more than 80 years ago (during the “Roaring Twenties”).

Kill the greedy kulaks, eh comrade?
 
It's the Democrats own fault for abandoning the American working class and creating permanent underclass supported by welfare in exchange for votes.

Democrats aren't the problem. There wouldn't be a need for social welfare if the working class make a livable wage.

I have the feeling that a group of Dem senators is about to get voted out of office.

What is the ideal distribution of income?
How do you know?
 
Absent malfeasance on the part of the One Percent, whining about "inequality" is nothing more than the latest in a looong line of vacuous socialist campaigns to redistribute wealth from those who earn it to those who simply don't.

How many times does the lesson have to be manifest before the "intelligencia" figures out that socialism NEVER works. The USSR, Cuba, North Korea, East Germany, Venezuela. How dense do you have to be?

That would be horrible for working class Americans.

It's called PAYING A LIVING WAGE which has nothing to do with Socialism.

Quit voting Republican

I don't think it makes much difference whether you quit voting Republican or not.

It's the system that's bad. Quit voting both parties, start voting for someone who would give you Proportional Representation so you get proper democracy.
