You're not addressing economic inequality, you're just saying the economy got better, which doesn't answer the question I asked you; What caused the sharp increase in economic inequality starting ~1980?

If the economy gets better, everyone does better, but the only people that have done any better since ~1980 are the top 1%, having garnered 93% of the gains while 99% of Americans have garnered the remaining 7%



Notice where those lines diverge. Your explanation doesn't address the cause

I notice your graph disproves your statement that "economic inequality" had a sharp increase in 1980 isn't true. ...lol....

That is economic inequality. You're literally too stupid to communicate with. Stop talking to me

Yet you reply to my every post. So....... not " too stupid to communicate with"? Your premise that stagnating wages is equal to "economic inequality" is not indicated.

Stagnating wages for the poor and middle class (6% of economic growth) and skyrocketing wages for the upper class @ 300% (93% of economic growth) isn't economic inequality?

No wages for "upper class" appear on your graph.

tutt tutt tutt.

he has a "theory", and dont you know, "Theories are Facts, which are made up from Facts", and thus every "theory" he espouses is "Settled Science"

Theories are made up of facts, facts explain the real universe. Theories are facts in science. You fail to acknowledge & understand that.

so, whenever he makes an assertion, or repeats a claim he agrees with, that transmutes those claims and assertions into "Facts" which are Irrefutable, Immutable and Eternal.

Yes, it seems reality can be anything you want it to be, as long as you want it enough.

Why dont we do a graph of compensation for pro atheletes while we are at it. How unfair is it that they make so much more now than in the 50's?? Lets look at movie stars, politicians, etc... OMG all the graphs rise like that!!!
