one problem with this graph is it based on gross income before transfers. it is quite possibly that if we take the actions to make a more 'just' society by increasing taxes on the rich and making greater transfers to the poor that this graph will look even worse. i think after tax and after transfer income is what really matters so I think it would be better if the graph showed this. but possibly it doesn't because the story would not be as bad.
