>> former florida democratic
congressman alan grayson is
angry.
there's too much money at the
top of our culture.
not enough at the bottom.
the gap between the rich and
the poor is deeper and wider
than ever before.
grayson is right!
so says the authoritative non-
partisan cbo, congressional
budget office, released last
week in their report.
over the past 30 years, the
wealthiest 1% of americans had
incomes that rose by, get this,
275%.
the average salary for that top
1% of the wealthiest americans
for one year of work was
$352,000.
where isas the middle, 60% of
americans, aka the middle-
class, saw children come
increase by just 40%.
the average salary for a middle-
class american rose to just
under $50,000 a year.
