The Washington Post: The CBO takes on income inequality

The incomes of the wealthiest 1 percent have nearly tripled since the late 1970s.

Everyone else? Not so much.

The chart sets the scene.

The after-tax incomes of the middle class (the 21st to 80th percentiles) have grown at about 1 percent per year since 1979, adjusting for inflation.

The incomes of the wealthiest 1 percent, meanwhile, have zoomed upward at a consderably faster pace.
