There are a few ways to measure inflation, but basically, inflation adjustment, by definition, takes into account the cost of common purchases, that is how it is calculated. Contrary to what you state, standard of living has actually gone up respective to inflation adjusted income.

As I wrote in the last paragraph, I think that the author is incorrect to assert that income inequality is of important significance, as level of income (adjusted for inflation) is what we should really be focused on. Sorry if that was not clear. Having people at all income levels wealthier would contradict the idea Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21632923.post-35427046937696285832015-02-26T16:02:33.167-05:002015-02-26T16:02:33.167-05:00Before Reagan, increases in the income of people w...Before Reagan, increases in the income of people who worked for a living tracked very closely with increases in their productivity. Almost all of the increases in GNP since 1981 have gone to a small group of wealthy investors. SOMETHING changed -- if it wasn't the introduction of trickle-down voodoonomics, what was it?John M.

So how, exactly, are you "addressing misinformation"? You haven't pointed at anything he got wrong.<br /><br />Even worse than that, you fail to understand that severe income inequality distorts the economy in ways that cannot be captured by "median income" statistics alone -- even if they Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21632923.post-61194497627816759012015-02-06T19:20:09.497-05:002015-02-06T19:20:09.497-05:00*inequity=inequality*inequity=inequalityAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21632923.post-76310987445989085032015-02-06T19:15:46.652-05:002015-02-06T19:15:46.652-05:00I don't know who you will actually piss off, b...I don't know who you will actually piss off, besides the history buffs perhaps. I certainly didn't get pissed off in the least bit, but maybe I'm not what you would classify as a wingnut. I look at facts and analyse them.
