Comments on: Income growth in the US. A chart of sadness. http://dontfearthetruth.com/2008/04/29/income-growth-in-the-us-a-chart-of-sadness/ Sat, 06 Sep 2008 00:37:57 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.5 By: Shane http://dontfearthetruth.com/2008/04/29/income-growth-in-the-us-a-chart-of-sadness/#comment-8742 Shane Tue, 17 Jun 2008 04:10:48 +0000 http://dontfearthetruth.com/?p=455#comment-8742 The time frames are, I am pretty sure, from US government statistics. When I was looking up inflation rates for the past 100 years, I remember a lot of them breaking time into segments, and 1974 being some break point for some reason. Also I am 99% sure there was no big drop in 1974, just when you average it out over 30+ years, it looks that way. The time frames are, I am pretty sure, from US government statistics.

If it's one thing Bush's politics have done, it's polarized our economic classes and left the middle class really holding the bag--the one with the big gaping hole in the bottom.

Sometimes i'm wondering why i am still going through all those studies tu put myself into debts for the rest of my life just to be able to execise my passion. I feel like i'm giving my wrists to the handcuffs of a system of slavery. When i see charts like that it give me the creeps. This is completely disgusting.

The main problem is that the rich people gained more than the poor. I don't see how any other chart or information would change this. As for the lower bracket going down - I know this because I live it. Statistics are misleading, sometimes you just know things. The lower bracket in the US is poorer than they were 30 years ago.

Shane said that "The problem is that it appears in the graph that everyone went UP, but they did not. The people at the bottom went DOWN." and in combination with the charts I already mentioned (and with what he also said in his previoous post) it makes sense but his original remark that the chart speaks for itself is wrong. ;) This chart is neither sad nor great…as such it doesnt allow any qualitative conclusion….you have to put it in context to other charts first like for example the inflation, the living costs and such…THEN you can tell if it sucks or not.
