Shift the bars to 1969 until 2008 (last year you can select).

You get the same message (but average income increased more). In 1969, something VERY bad happened economically, and I'm still trying to figure out what it was. 1948 until 1969 shows a much more balanced distro, 33% to the top 10% and the rest to everyone else.
