If Reaganomics had never been...

I found this graph a couple of weeks ago during a discussion.


I extrapolated (with Microsoft Paint) how things could have looked if Reaganomics hadn't existed.



Damn, it's depressing. So much potential lost to Reaganomics and global free-trade agreements.


:banghead:





Anyway, there it is. Pass it out to your RW friends or whatever. If they need to know where they are on the percentile graph, well, if they make less than $250k they're in the bottom 98%.

There's a chart http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Household_income_in_the_United_States#Household_income_in_the_U.S.">here if they want to find out for themselves exactly where they are in the world. Last year I was right about at the 40th percentile. Yay. And thanks to me having to move this year and not being employed for a while, I'll be down in the 25th percentile. Double fuckin' yay.
