My friend Philippa Dunne co-authors The Liscio Report. It is fairly technical analysis of state tax revenues and employment – great basic research. Read the last few pages on income disparity in the US. In 2007 the top 0.1% – about 15,000 households – claimed 12.3% of all income. Wow. Look at the charts for further enlightenment and long-term trends. This is troubling.
