Which is exactly what the GOTP doesn't want us to know!
In the first year of the recovery, 93 percent of all income gains went to the top 1 percent. In other words, the very rich had a bad 2009, but an incredible 2010. Their share of national income bounced back to 19.77 percent. So inequality is marching upward once again.
Yup, the GOTP says, let's blame the people at the bottom- many of whom spent 30 to 40 years paying into the system and whose meager investments, if any, were destroyed by Wall Street criminals.
Disgusting!
