Between 1980 and 2004, real wages in manufacturing fell 1 percent while the real income of the richest 1 percent rose - by 135 percent. In 1976 the top 1 percent of Americans owned 22 percent of our total wealth. Today, the top 1 percent controls 38 percent of our total wealth. In 1960, the gap in terms of wealth between the top 20 percent and the bottom 20 percent was 30 fold. Now it is more than 75 fold. http://vbcgreens.org/archives/2006/11/america_101_by.php http://vbcgreens.org/archives/2006/11/america_101_by.php Thu, 09 Nov 2006 23:45:27 -0500 Here's a good reason to vote Green, and enact Single Payer Health Insurance.
