Stupid Alert ....

Percentage of Americans in 1983 who thought it was possible to start out rich in this country... and become rich: 57
Percentage who think this today: 80

Percentage of US income in 1983 and today, respectively, that went to the top 1 percent of earners: 9%, 16%

Maybe this kind of thing explains what's wrong with this country. People are fucking clueless... and getting more so all the time!
