Yes, I'm serious. And yes, you are clueless. What part of the rich don't have income is confusing you so much?Yeah pretty much. You know of course that your chart does not dispute my claim, right?
You serious? It does NO such thing. Tax RATES have been cut in half WHILE the top 1% has nearly 300% MORE of the pie since 1979
CBO finds that, between 1979 and 2007, income grew by:
275 percent for the top 1 percent of households,
65 percent for the next 19 percent,
Just under 40 percent for the next 60 percent, and
18 percent for the bottom 20 percent.
Trends in the Distribution of Household Income Between 1979 and 2007 Congressional Budget Office
Look at the skills required to do the jobs in each category. The education and skills required to do the top jobs has increased while the low end jobs have had to do nothing in the way of improving skills.
Got it, you can't follow along with the wing nuts premise, that the wealthy don't have INCOME
Yes, bottom 80% of US have done NOTHING to improve themselves but the top 1% has gotten more educated or work longer hours than the lazy bastards from 1945-1980 who only received 6%-9% of the pie, instead of the 23% the top 1% received in 2007?
To be at the top requires a greater percentage of time and education to be at the top. To be at the bottom, one has to do nothing. That means if the pie for those on the higher end has increased it's because what they've had to do to get their has grown. When the only requirement for someone to be able to do low end jobs is breathing, it's not hard to understand why they make low wages. For some of us it's easy. For people like you, you won't ever understand because you don't want to understand.
