Joe Conason reminds us that there's nothing surer: The rich get richer and the poor get poorer. Wealthy folks have never done so well.
The thing I find most interesting is that this information comes from a report that the Internal Revenue folks prepare each year on the incomes and tax liabilties of the 400 richest taxpayers. According to Conason, this report was available to the public when Clinton was president and is available under Obama…but George W. Bush did not allow it to be distributed during his terms. Gee, I wonder why.
