Income Discrepancy

Income Discrepancy Trends
Whilst I have no problem with the notion of Income discrepancy, every one must surely agree that a balance needs to be struck. Look at the chart below to see what has been happening since 1979.
Income Discrepancy Chart

What is Income Discrepancy?

When I hear Joe the Plumber complaining about the 39% tax bracket, I get confused. When I hear normally thoughtful people waxing nonsense about the relative poverty, that it is no big deal in the USA, I get irritated. When I hear Fox presenters being envious about those individuals who do not pay taxes – I get sort of mad.

If ever I lose my bearings – I simply refer to the below. This chart I pin to my office wall. I look at this chart at least once a month. If you hear a statistic that tells you that 40% of Americans either live in poverty or are one crisis away from poverty – and doubt the validity, just study the implications of this chart. When the whole central pillar of SP tax policy is to terrify the population regarding the merely delayed implementation of the SP tax policy of the 39.6% tax bracket for those earning $400,000 -$450,000 – which really means over $500,000 (do I have to explain?) – well just look at this (2011) chart to put all those fears into perspective.

Below Graph  shows a) what all Americans believe would be a fair level of income discrepancy, b) what they believe the actual income discrepancy stands at, and c) what the actual income discrepancy looks like.
Income Discrepancy: Reality vs. Perception

Note how in the third graph, it is not even possible to see how high the top few percentage points go. Today the top 1% take home nearly a quarter of the national income, back in 1976 this was 9%.
