NY Mag puts the economic divide into some perspective. “Matt Bruenig of the People’s Policy Project took the Fed’s data and calculated how much the respective net worth of America’s top one percent and its bottom 50 percent has changed since 1989. He found that America’s superrich have grown about $21 trillion richer since Taylor Swift was born, while those in the bottom half of the wealth distribution have grown $900 billion poorer.” (I don’t think that we should blame Taylor Swift for this. Not entirely, anyway…)
