The 1% Have Gotten CHUMP CHANGE Compared to the .1%

To illuminate how statistics can be very deceiving, these charts show that despite the fact some will use overall income statistics to try to prove that things are improving for the American people, the truth is that the 90% of the population is worse off.

Meanwhile the top .01% of the population have enjoyed such obscene increases in their incomes that when taken as a whole, it skews the entire income statistical picture.

The filthy rich don't have "income". They don't have jobs with salaries.
Their "income" is return on money invested.

Anyone who relies on a job to live on is not filthy rich.

From the Democrat Dictionary for Disingenuousness and Character Assassination, Page 347:

"Rich": You have a job.
"Filthy Rich": You have two jobs.
"Obscenely Rich": You create jobs.
