There HAS been a dramatic 'change'..​...............from Rico

There has been a pretty dramatic 'change' already, and I'm NOT talking about the ones that walking FUBAR Barry has foisted upon us against our will.

Thanks to some number-crunchers at the EPI (Economic Policy Institute), we can 'see' what has already 'changed' for the average American, and why they have that uneasy 'gut' feeling that something was wrong. It's hard to pin down for many with the Gov't 'cooking the books and reporting fantasy numbers (happily repeated by our incurious presstitutes), but it is there.

The BIG picture of average income growth doesn't look too bad spread over 90 years. Not great, but not that bad. First chart.

BUT the picture changes if you drill-down and look closely at the last 30 years. Second chart.
- 90% of the growth in average US income went to the top 10%.

Now look at the last chart. The last 10 years of 'change' was bad enough to actually be 'felt' and even the dim-witted ones who bought into the hot air emanated by both the RINO's and Democrats (C) may actually be noticing it.
- In the past 10 years the average incomes of the bottom 90% has actually DECLINED, not increased.

This is exactly what the "limousine progressives" of BOTH so-called political parties are trying so very hard to keep the average Joe and Jane from figuring out. This is also why Communists like George Soros are funding, organizing, and promoting this entire "occupy" charade...it's another great 'distraction' from the reality of the situation. Masterful misdirection...keep the 'marks' looking at one hand while the other hand performs the 'magic' of picking our collective pockets.
- The biggest picture of ALL? If this trend continues, there won't be any chance of a RECOVERY since the 90% won't have anything left to pay for products.

It's not Wall Street, or the "rich" it is an ever-expanding corporate/government killer squid that is strangling a free market, enabled by central-planning control freaks [read: Communists]. This is the BIG picture. Our government has become our worst enemy. Pogo was right.

As Thomas Sowell points out in his "Applied Economics", despite the mantra that big business loves free markets, the opposite is true - big business wants to control the markets, not BE CONTROLLED by them.
