    the reason that income in equality is not increasing is simple the government want us all to be equal so they are making it possible.

    the media are making a lot of the inequality of wealth,
    not opportunity. . if we focused on increasing opportunity
    for those who are trapped socially, trapped by drugs,
    trapped by fears and schisms and true oppression,
    then we'd have something. . but capitalism would
    take care of that, if we tried it. . we sneaked up on
    capitalism with the initiation of the u.s. ... let's try it
    better, next time, folks! -- j

    I wonder if the post- WWII period was a deviation from this historical norm that roughly follows the Pareto principle. If so the reversion to the norm period feels unusual, and we ask "what is causing it?" Maybe it's just reversion to the historical norm after an anomaly.
