Update: I put up the pie chart earlier. Then Blog Fodder commented and said he'd like to see a comparison from 40 years ago. Found this chart that goes a little farther back than that.

Great pie chart. Need one from 40 or 50 years ago to compare. If you split the top 0.01% out they own a huge chunk of the 43%, too.
ReplyDeleteIt is disgusting. Canada is much the same and getting worse. We have a Republican type government in now, thankfully with only a minority government. the opposition are letting the Tories hang themselves before they trigger an election BUT the Liberal Party don't have a good leader.
