It seems to come down to the fact that you guys think there are much larger swings in income than I do. But without any data (that we can all examine) we're all just guessing on that front.

But it's still not completely relevant.. there are two different concepts here. You guys are more talking about class mobility. The other is income disparity. Forget the growth trends since that's what seems to be tripping you up. The snapshot of the rich in 2007 had a larger share of total income than the snapshot of the rich in 1979.
