OK, first analysis of income by 20% grouping and top 5%.
RR + GB^2 Clinton
1st 20% 7.6% 15.9%
2nd 20% 8.9% 15.5%
3rd 20% 11.2% 14.6%
4th 20% 14.0% 15.8%
5th 20% 24.8% 28.8%
top 5% 40.7% 43.4%
The numbers don't exactly match with the GDP numbers for a couple of
reasons.
There was approximately 2%-3% greater growth in the numbers of households
under RR + GB^2 than under Clinton.
The share of the GDP growth that went to household income was greater under
Clinton.
But, we see that, while richer households did approximately as well under 8
cherry picked years from the last 14 under Bush^2 & RR as under Clinton,
they bottom 40% only did half as well, and the middle 20% did about 20%
worse.
