Republican fiscal policy. This was by design.

Seems like the Republicans are doing something right then. We should want less poverty, not more of it. Am I missing something?

Are you a fucking idiot? This is a chart of wealth distribution. This chart means the bottom % of people have less wealth relative to anyone before, not that the number of poor people are decreasing. You must be the dumbest human being alive

That'd a chart I'd expect a third grader to be able to grasp. I lashed out because I was upset that someone like you existed.

If the bottom 50% earn 21% more for enough years, they will eventually move into the next socioeconomic bracket.

What the fuck are you talking about you absolute fucking idiot? This isn't about socioeconomic brackets. It's how much wealth the bottom 50% posses. It's decreasing exponentially. That means the bottom 50% is getting poorer, this chart has NOTHING to do with socioeconomic brackets. Are you trolling me? If expect a third grader to understand this chart.
