US Income Disparity Grows

We're losing our middle class.  And it's a serious problem.

"Amplifying that trend, the bottom 60% of households saw their income fall last year, while households making $100,000 or more enjoyed a rise in income."

Not sure how this snuck through the Faux editors at WSJ but it's good info to have:
"According to the PBS NewsHour on Tuesday Aug. 16, the wealthiest 20% of Americans own 84% of the wealth, while the poorest 40% own just 0.3% of it.
Meanwhile, on Tues. Sept. 13, U.S. Census Bureau data showed:
The income of the average American worker—long the envy of much of the world—has dropped for the third year in a row and is now roughly where it was in 1996, adjusted for inflation. The U.S. poverty rate, meanwhile, has continued to rise. The official poverty rate—defined as a family of four earning less than $22,314—was at 15.1% in 2010, up from 14.3% in 2009 and 12.5% in 2007, before the recession hit in full force."
