Yup, it all started with Obama, as you can see from the below chart. Oh wait... Reagan.

It really sucks that we can only rep a poster periodically. If that wasn't the case, I suspect MTATech's rep would be 31,000 instead of 3,100.

With the utmost humility, I accept that complement.

Maybe you should talk to the Crony Capitalist in the White House. Bigger and bigger government leads to a bigger and bigger income gap. Obama's buddies will always be better off than hard working taxpayers.

Nobody said "started". Try learning to read.

And it's easy to cherry pick data to support your agenda.

The income gap hasn't been this bad since the 1920's.

Ha- another who believes unions close the wealth gap.

I wonder how the union executives, whom take in several times what their members take in, feel about that.
They love the drones handing them over union fees.

By the way how come you are not blaming the president. I am sure if you posted this in 2006 you would have ripped W.

Well according to the OP union power woud be the solution. Reagan garnered many union votes in 80 and 84.

I always wonder who holds all the "available income" or is "all the available income" created by people that work?...

The government was quick to oblige.
