US Average Household Income Rising Inequality 1967-2012

Economist Joseph Stiglitz of Columbia University NY: We’ve been brainwashed BY RICH TO IGNORE INEQUALITY. It's no accident that Americans widely underestimate inequality. The rich prefer it that way. How, in a democracy supposedly based on one person one vote, could the 1 percent could have been so victorious in shaping policies in its interests? It is part of a process of disempowerment, disillusionment, and disenfranchisement that produces low voter turnout, a system in which electoral success requires heavy investments, and in which those with money have made political investments that have reaped large rewards — often greater than the returns they have reaped on their other investments.
