And then below on each of those, you can see what the numbers were in the early 1990s.
And so the consistency across the board on income, spending, wealth,
is that increasingly the people at the top are increasingly getting a much higher percentage of the money in our country.
Well, not only is it not sustainable, but we are watching in real time the political system reacting to that.
And on the one hand, people, I think, were quite surprised when Mayor Mondami visited the Oval Office with Trump after his victory in New York.
They were surprised at how well they got along.
Well, the fact is the rise of Trump and the rise is what you're seeing happening right now in the Democratic Party and in cities around the country is that people are rising against the current system.
They're rising against the people that are in charge of the current system.
And you're saying it's not working for them and they want to change.
And just by the way on that, but the exasperation, the gap between the people at the top and the rest of the country began forming in the early 1970s.
But the economic crisis of 2008
really accelerated even more that gap because the people who've been suffering the most economically since the 1970s as we transitioned away from the manufacturing economy are the ones who were the hardest hit during the economic crisis.
They were the people last to recover in the 2010s.
And that gap, as you said, even widened deeper due to COVID.
And no one's worried about the deficit of either party.
Well, it's just what I call the non-virtuous cycle where increasingly people at the top are doing better than everyone else.
And the gap between the people on the top and everyone else is widening.
And these charts showing wage growth show that.
And I don't know how many slides you want to go through today, but there are 50 or 60 of them.
But virtually every slide tells that same story.
