Watch out. these income inequality figures are directly controlled by government programs. It is those who live on the government programs who are at the bottom of the heap. I know old women living on $450/mo Social Security and some welfare payments are less. That has nothing to do with capitalism, and it is going to get a lot worse as baby boomers retire. Average Social Security is $1000/mo and ave senior income is $15,000/yr vs ave sal of $43,000. Yet Dem's won't fix the kink in the system that leaves $25% of elderly women very poor. They woiuld rather demagogue the issue with pilgrimages to a statue of FDR.

Yep. FDR = patron saint of American socialism.
