This chart could win Democrats both the House and the Senate

DAILYKOS:
"Democrats [should be] pounding on this chart every single day'

Yes, it is quite the chart. It’s 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

Love this quote in the link:

“And here’s the stark proof that, when it comes to the Republican tax scam, Trump’s critics were right, while Trump was just wanking off to an ‘80s pin-up of the Laffer curve”

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.
