Timothy Noah published an interesting series on income inequality in Slate last month. Since about 1980 there has been a huge change in income inequality so that now the top 10% earn 50% of all income in the U.S. The top 1% earn 25%, and the top 0.01% earn 6%.
Is it time for a revolution?
Edit
Interesting study about American’s beliefs and attitudes about income inequality here (pdf).
