What are you trying to do, let facts get in the way of a good argument?

So, correct me if I'm wrong, but it appears there was a significant increase in inequality in the 80s, during Reagan and Bush I, and relative stability in the 70s (during Nixon, Ford and Carter) and the 90s (during Clinton and the first little bit of Bush II).

I would have expected the increase to have kept going during the Clinton years, on the theory that there were a healthy number of rapidly made wealth folks in the late nineties).
