As a start, do you actually have a link that can back that up?

- opo 8y agoInteresting chart - it shows inequality slowing rising over the decades, but it can't tell you how much of the total market income the top 10% received. According to the OECD, the top 10% in the US now make about 33% of the market income and pay 45% of the income taxes. It would be interesting to find how that compares to 1980.
