My old college friend over at transit librarian will love this. Money quote from a reader at econopundit:

"Well, according to [the article] the wealthy suffered a massive reduction in income between 2000 and 2002, while the income of the middle class increased. In other words, we got exactly what the left has always [claimed it wants]. But does [anyone actually] feel better? Who wouldn't [gladly] trade the years 2000 to 2002, when the rich were getting poorer, for the years 1997 to 1999, when the rich were getting richer? Very, very few people, I think."
