Chart away, as those charts are meaningless. What are you doing to establish wage equality and how does raising taxes on the rich do that?U.S. Household Incomes: A 51-Year Perspective
by Jill Mislinski, 10/16/18
To give us a better idea of the underlying trends in household incomes, we've also prepared a chart of the real percentage growth since 1967. Note in particular the growing spread between the top quintile (and especially the top 5%) and the other four quintiles. The growth spread began in the mid-1980s during the Reagan administration, the era of Supply Side Economics (aka "Reaganomics" and Trickle-Down Economics). As this chart illustrates, tax and other policy changes to benefit the wealthier households didn't have the heavily promoted trickle-down effect.
