A second Gilded Age?

The stats on our financial success keep coming in daily, it’s hard to keep up.

The conclusion: We are doing marvelously.

Admire this graph, which draws on the latest data from the Congressional Budget Office. Notice how our income has grown at a rate of nearly 300 percent since 1979. Three cheers for the 1%!

According to the Huffington Post piece, America is entering a Second Gilded Age.

Us? Joining the ranks of Vanderbilt and Frick, Rockefeller and Carnegie?

Aw shucks, Huff. Now’s that flattery.
