The Economy

The phrase "the rich keep getting richer" seems to be tossed around a lot.
But today, the Wall Street Journal shows it's so very true. The paper analyzed new data from the IRS and found the richest 1 percent of Americans earned a postwar record of more than 21 percent of all income in 2005. The Internal Revenue Service didn't name the source of rising cash for the affluent, but said a boom on Wall Street probably had something to do with it.
