Bush made America less equal

That was one of the accepted refrains of the US election campaigning. Guess what, it ain't true. There are the CNN figures as reported by Newsbusters:

" * In 2004, 8 percent of the electorate earned $15k or less; that dropped to 6 percent in 2008, a 25 percent decline
* In 2004, 15 percent made between $15k-$30K; that dropped to 12 percent in 2008, a 20 percent decline
* In 2004, 23 percent made $30k or less; that dropped to 18 percent in 2008, a 22 percent decline
* In 2004, 11 percent made $100k-$150k; that rose to 14 percent in 2008, a 27 percent increase
* In 2004, 4 percent made $150k-$200k; that rose to 6 percent in 2008, a 50 percent increase
* In 2004, 3 percent made $200k or more; that rose to 6 percent in 2008, a 100 percent increase
* In 2004, 18 percent made $100k or more; that rose to 26 percent in 2008, a 44 percent increase."

Why should anyone let facts get in the way of a good anti-Bush story?

What do you think the comparatives will look like in 2012?
