As of 2007, the top decile of American earners took in half of total wages,(Which leaves just half of the money for the other 95% of us. No wonder we can't afford health care.) In 2007 wealth for the wealthy was "higher than any other year since 1917 and even surpasses 1928, the peak of stock market bubble in the 'roaring" 1920s.' The top 1% took in half the overall growth. The middle class lost big.
Recent economic reports show that this gap is only getting much worse.
"nuff said?
