Look, you can believe what you want, if it makes you feel better to think that I posted that because I wanted to prove that the rich man is taking advantage of the poor man, so be it. Your point here is patently absurd, with no backing except either what YOU think I meant, or what YOU wanted me to mean. This whole exercise is fast becoming ridiculous.
And pray tell, what does that 90% business I said have to do with your point that I said it because they were getting there at the expense of the poor? I simply said they were getting there at a faster rate. Go look at the percentages again from 1980 on, compare it against every other group, and then tell me I am mistaken about the top 5% growth being faster. There is steady growth there, every other group, including the top 5th as a whole, remain on a steady curve.
I love how most work on here. I post a single set of stats, and immediately, like some knee jerk reaction, I hear "class envy", "pity the poor man", and "economic injustice" arguments. Yet I was not making any sort of inference, just showing where middle class is. Your posts are a perfect example of this. You know you have an arugment you can win everytime, and you use whether or not it even fits with the discussion at hand. It's pathetic, it really is.
