Number of the Day

480%: The percentage by which "the income of the very rich, the top 100th of 1 percent of the income distribution" in the US grew between 1979 and 2005. Meanwhile, "between 1979 and 2005 the inflation-adjusted income of families in the middle of the income distribution rose 21 percent."

480% vs. 21%.

That is what real class warfare looks like.
