The L-Curve: Income Distribution of the U.S.

The income distribution of the United States is far more unequal than most people realize. In fact it is so lopsided, it is hard to represent on a single graph. For more see http://www.lcurve.org.

Bill Gates INCOME isn't 50 billion a year, that's his net worth.

Now Make a video that graph of the average American income compared to the rest of the world. Oh look at that we are around the top. BOOM! rich people are good, quit crying!

[David Chandler]

No. It's the biggest single year INCREASE in net worth as reported in news reports at the time.

Surely there's more than 400 billionaires in the USA.

[David Chandler]

-- Actually there are over 1000 billionaires in the US. See the updated information on the website: lcurve.org

Started out good before you compared income to net wealth; two vastly different measures of wealth.

I compared income with "increase" in net worth. Read the web site for more details.

If republican policies are so great then why do the southern states which are mostly run by repubes have the highest poverty rates and worst schools in the country????

[Xavier Garnier]

the middle class allows this to happen by not trusting their fellow commonfolk and by "busting their ass" to sustain the status quo and hence the economic vehicles of elitist profiteiring... The middle class graciously pays their farmer for the ride to the slaughterhouse...

[eli dakate]

The rich suck the life out of everyone around them. The middle class support the whole system and are much more generous. Thank you middle class for busting your ass every day to support all of us . Even the rich pigs that think they should own everything and will do every thing in their power to increase their wealth even during this depression.

In “Inheriting an Abundant Earth” a simple rule tweak on inheritance ends up changing the direction and purpose of modern human life! Here’s a fair way to give the 99% the key to the vaults! It's something specific we can demand. Are we really just this close to having it work right? Break one link, and the chains fall away! Oh yeah, it's a Ski movie! Watch “Inheriting an Abundant Earth” (“Occupying Chairlifts” 5.0) then sign the petition, and share it!!
