Those gini coefficnets are in percentages, so USA has a gini about 27 %, which is outstanding. Where do you get this nonsense. The very wikipedia page you cite shows the U.S. gini is 0.47 (and of course they are in percentages - that's the way gini is defined). And 0.47 is 'outstanding' only if you think Uganda and Iran have a good distribution of income. Yes, the U.S. gini is the middle of the worldwide *range*, because the range is goes all the way to 0.7 (Namibia) to 0.23 (Sweden), but the U.S. is far more unequal than the other OECD nations. Brent If you don't that, see from the wikimedia map (below) that the USA gini coeff. is about about average in the world: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Filt/Sandbox Sorry, you have to go to that page to find what the colors mean. The pink color indicates that USA is smack dab in the middle of the gini coefficients.

Yellow countries like India and Khazakstan are doing better than that. We are down below average, in the D- range with China, Mexico, and Peru. Can you imagine how many dirt poor peasants there are in China or Mexico or Peru and how many abandoned ex-Middle Class suckers it takes to make the US that shade of pink? It's grotesque. Think of how many hundreds of millions of dollars in spare change that those at the top have to convince people like you that giving them more and more of your money is the only political solution. It's not helping your case any btw Roger that you keep trying to pull dead rabbits out of this hat. Turn it right side up and face the music.
