That Old Reagan Meme

Legend:
"The blue bars are the bottom 90% of the population 
by income; the red bars are the top 10%."

And, the notations on this chart don't point out that even though it was Reagan who won with the question "Are you better off?", it was during his terms that the distribution of wealth skyrocketed in favor of the rich and against 90% of the population.  Maybe that's why he was asking.  If the 90% were better off than they were four years earlier, he needed to get in and fix that!

...but hey, do what you want...you will anyway.
