Article by Joseph E. Stiglitz coming out in May 2011 Vanity Fair--

http://www.vanityfair.com/society/features/2011/05/top-one-percent-201105

The top 1% of wealthiest Americans get & have.....

25% of the nation's income
40% of the nation's wealth

In 1986 they got & had.....

12% of the nation's income
33% of the nation's wealth

'All the growth in recent decades--and more--has gone to those at the top.'

'The top 1 percent have the best houses, the best educations, the best doctors, and the best lifestyles, but there is one thing that money does not seem to have bought: an understanding that their fate is bound up with how the other 99 percent live. Throughout history, this is something that the top 1 percent eventually do learn. Too late.'

There's alot more than that in this terrific article. Of the 1%, by the 1%, for the 1% 254328

Thanx guys.....actually Tazzy posted it first.....thanx Tazzy!! Very Happy

At this rate I'm estimating that by the year 2036 the top 1% will have--

37% of the nation's income

47% of the nation's wealth

Only way I can see them achieving that lurid goal is via Soylent Green.

Oops!!! Didn't mean to confuse you. I happen to have a copy of Soylent Green in my home. Do you remember that Dick Van Patten was in that movie? I almost fell over the first time I watched the movie.
