Yeah, about all that talk about income inequality? The poor hardly got poorer even while the wealthiest made out quite well. Of course, if you are obsessed with the 1% no matter your own situation... After taking taxes and transfer payments into account, the bottom quintile of U.S. households experienced growth of 48 percent in their inflation-adjusted incomes while the middle three quintiles had income growth of 40 percent. The 81st to 99th percentiles grew by 67 percent; and the top 1 percent, by 200 percent. brookings.edu/blogs/fixgov/posts/2014/11/12-cbo-report-household-taxes-galston#.VGP2RAiMffk.twitter
