Here is a snapshot of the new CBO Study on Income increase between 1979 and 2007:

Congressional Budget Office - Trends in the Distribution of Household Income Between 1979 and 2007

The top 1% increased 275%
The bottom 20% increased 18%.

Let's call a spade a spade-the report is clear that government tax and other policies helped redistribute wealth from the bottom to the top.

There is a redistribution of wealth alright-from the bottom to the top. This stands "trickle down" economics on its head.
