Under Democratic presidents, nearly all income levels have done equally well. However under Republican presidents, the skew of top income earners doing better than the lower earners is striking. Under GOP presidents, the 95th percentile saw their incomes grow by almost 5 times the growth rate of the 20th percentile -- that's enormous.
Oh, and don't forget to notice that the growth rates for all income buckets are higher under Democrats than Republicans.
One has to wonder just how worse off we'd be if Republican McCain had been running the show for the last 2+ years.
