The article starts out saying that this group (the top .01%) has income that is flying away from everyone else. As with most of these articles decrying the income distribution, there is the implication that there is something nefarious about this. At the end of the article, however, we learn that there is a lot of churn in the .01% from year to year, which indicates that some people are making a lot of money, but they aren't always the same people. I doubt that most years they are hurting terribly, but it is still a very different picture than the same people earning that much money year after year.
