Hopefully the graph will appear. If not, and if you have access, I included the NYT article I copied it from.
The big question is if this situation can be rectified politically.

Ok, the the graph sort of came out, but for some reason the labels didn't.
The top faint horizontal line is "400% cumulative increase"
The next faint horizontal line down is "300% cumulative increase"
The next faint horizontal line down is "200% cumulative increase"
The next faint horizontal line down is "100% cumulative increase"
The bottom line of the graph starts at the left (where all the squiggly lines begin) with 1980 and continues to the right in 5-year increments.
As for the data,
- The top squiggly line shows "Change in Income, Top 0.01%"
- The next squiggly line down shows "Rest of Top 1%"
- The next squiggly lines down show "90th to 99th percentile" (red line) and "Per capita G.D.P." (bold black)
- The next squiggly line down shows "Middle 40%"
- The next squiggly line at the bottom shows "Bottom 50%"
