Good short video of chart
Very clear depiction of middle class "progress"
Yes, of course. New good capitalists leaders will fight for people needs. May be. :-)
Good new report
New charts and data about poor "middle class"
Most interesting thing about this chart is the relative fall and recovery of different levels around 2008.
Takes some denial to examine Koch Bro's antics, even at a cursory level, and not conclude there isn't manipulation of politics and policy. And no need for sarcasm and ridicule that's become customary from right wingers any time Koch is invoked.
What to do??
Find rope may be?
Damn! As a member of America's elite (in good standing, mind you), I'm distraught that our secret and nefarious plan to destroy the middle class is now public! What to do??
You mean that poorest 1% eat to much and have money for regular drugs? Or they are just some defective people who became so poor due two such things?
Poor people aren't given much of a chance. Poor schools, poor access to medical care, negative feedback loops over generations and punitive capitalist based criminal justice system produce a population that will consistently make poor choices with regards to diet, and lifestyle. And the band plays on.
Well, many of the poorest eat cheap industrialized junk food and have less access to information on healthy nutrition. You can observe in quite a few countries – apart from those who are very poor as a whole country – that the rich are leaner these days.
I believe some of that is duebto increased drug abuse and obesity.

That's a good statistic. Would be interesting to see that for all countries (top 1% vs bottom 1%).
