OP
The economy was so much better before Obama screwed it all up? Selective statistics and amnesia.

There has been economic recovery for far, far more than some. Like 12 million jobs filled.

Your first two graphs are from 2009 to near current, is why...the income inequality trend began long before.

It's like you're creating reasons to be offended.

For CEO's the inequality is magnified, but they are not a lot of people who are CEO's.
A lot of good things happened to workers since 2009, the year Obama took office, if I recall.
I am not trying to create offence, I am trying to create perspective.

...... and since Obama had just taken office, that would place the burden more on the Bush administration, n'est-ce pas?
