    Sam, did you have any difficulty applying for visa to Commie China? I mean you didn't ask MFW2310 for help? ;)

    Then why do super-rich billionaires from Buffer to Gates warn against Bush's tax policies creating an uber class? Why has social mobility DECREASED markedly throughout the last decade? Why is Alan Greenspan, an ayn rand disciple, of all people, going before congress and warning about the dangers of the accelerating income inequality?

    You're right, the top 10% changes a lot (actually it's the top 1%, or .1% that changes, the rest of the back 9 doesn't change that much) - it has accelerated at an exponential rate which has only been exacerbated over the past 5 years.
