Summary[edit]

Description
English: This graph depicts a slice of U.S. households by total yearly income in bar chart form using data from the "Income, Poverty, and Health Insurance Coverage in the United States: 2007" report published by the U.S. Census Bureau. All of the values, which go from the year 1967 to the year 2007, are inflation-adjusted using 2007 dollars. The entire report is available here.

The image is used to illustrate the argument that, despite claims that income inequality in the United States has spiked and thus presents a serious problem, the economic trend is that the poor and rich alike have gotten richer, with more households making above the $70k mark. It's an adaptation from the 2009 book "Mad About Trade" by Daniel Griswold. That work was published by the libertarian Cato Institute.

An alternative version of this image exists in bar chart form here. Versions with an additional variable exist here and here.
