At a glance, I'm not seeing a big difference in share of wealth between now and 1989. I'm not sure, then, what Robert Reich's point is, to say that the richest 10% "now" hold 60% of the nation's wealth, nor how he can come to the conclusion that it is "eating" the economy alive. Nor what the point is of providing a chonological graph, a graph which doesn't provide any actual percentages, nor a source. He's an accompolished economist, he can do better than that if wants to point out the egregious unfairness of society. Or is this the quality of argument on x.
