According to the WSJ, the income gap between the wealthiest and poorest Americans grew to its widest level since the 1920s. The wealthiest 1 percent of all Americans earned 21.2 percent of all the nation's income in 2005, while the bottom half of working Americans earned just 12.8 percent of all the nation's income. According to academic experts, the last time the rich had this large of a share of income was during the 1920s. |
