Use any source you like. I didn't notice whether the percentiles were on
that site. I was just looking at relative value of the dollar on that
link and noticed that it was fairly static for a long time then leapt
into devaluation just around the end of WWI. Then gradually lost more
and more of its value.
You see, I suspect (like you said) that there are more (relatively) poor
now than there were in the US over the past half decade or so... I just
don't know when that became the case (poverty rising rather than
falling).
What made the poverty rise?
What was hapopening in the US at (or a bit before) the time the poverty
trend started rising?
