What a load of crap.
The top 10% is "losing ground".
Yeah right. I am thinking that 35% of the total in 2012 is a hell of a lot MORE wealth than 44% of the total was in 1962. Hmm, in 1963 it looks like a total of $3 trillion. 45% of that is $1.35 trillion. Total in 2009 is $55 trillion. 35% of that is $19.25 trillion.
Oh yeah, they are losing ground. Those poor, poor middle rich 
They are JUST LIKE the poorest 20% the poor, poor dears.
Krugman seems to be sitting in his $1,700,000 apartment saying "don't tax me, I am not rich."
