Graphic Proof
The top chart shows the share of U.S. income received by workers falling off a cliff for the past several years, while corporate profits (in the second graph) are zooming up again. The charts--and the sad story-- are from TPM. President Obama met with a private sector task force on creating jobs that provided suggestions, but confirmed just how difficult the task is. Still, it seems time to point out what's happening and how GOPers in Congress are deliberately obstructing job creation efforts for political motives.
