This chart could win Democrats both the House and the Senate

"Democrats [should be] pounding on this chart every single day'
https://m.dailykos.com/stories/2018/8/13/1788002/--I-don-t-understand-why-the-Democrats-are-not-pounding-on-this-chart-every-single-day?detail=emaildkre
Yes, it is quite the chart. Its so eye-opening, in fact, it prompted equities analyst and Bloomberg Television contributor Barry Ritholtz to state: I don't understand why the Democrats are not pounding on this chart every single day from now until the midterm election.
Indeed.
Coincidentally, the above chart looks eerily similar to a graph that shows a sharp divergence between wages and productivity since Ronald Reagan made the world safe for greedy assholes again

6000 points since Hump was placed in the WH. What has happened to your wealth? Has it increased by a third or so? Don't even need a chart.
