Nothing like some guy's blog to support your claim.
Ad hominem fallacy. The data comes from the US census bureau and shows no increase in individual income equality. All changes in household inequality in every one of your graphics are from changing household demographics, thus they are irrelevant. You gotta do better than that brah.
Hardloper, you are literally the most brainwashed or most dishonest or possibly just dumbest (but I'll give you credit and vote for more likely on the other two) poster on here.
Ad hominem fallacy, eh? Lemme guess, you think that makes you sound smart, huh? Nope, just desperate. Because yes, sources do matter, especially if one is not an expert in the topic (and none of of us on are on this topic). But putting that aside for a moment, what did you do when I posted an opinion piece from a very well respected academic in economics on the history of tax cuts and raises on the the economy? Dismissed it with a wave of the hand and not even a read because...... it appeared in Salon. Well guess what, yes, sometimes they hire experts to write pieces for them. Yet HERE you are posting data from some obscure blog to in attempt refute the calculations and conclusions on income inequality that literally dozens of world class experts have come to (including nobel prize winning economists). THAT's laughable, but what's worse, when someone brings this up, you say (in plain English)- 'attacking the source, lame.'
HYPOCRITE much? Yup, 100%.
And on our discussion of Reagan tax cuts, you are still full of $hit (like you are here). As I told you before, even conservative economic experts and those who HELPED CRAFT the bill understand that tax cuts in general (duh!), and the Reagan ones specifically, don't "pay for themselves", and cost the country usually billions of $'s revenue. Once again, this time I'll link to it, Reagan's OWN BUDGET calculated that 1981 tax cuts cost 100's of billions of $'s, even looking their effects into the late 80's (you tried some BS comment of 'well, of course the first few years tax cuts lose $, but THEN, years later.....yeah, they pay for themselves and then some.." blah, blah, blah)

Are you gonna attack the source this time? Is this more liberal "FAKE STATS" ??
Dude, you're a joke. You are exhibit A of the reasonably intelligent conservative who ignores the almost all experts and ignores even those from "his side" if they don't tell him what he wants to hear.
You are truly a great example of the Trump/internet era for which the credo is:
"Facts are dead. Google your OWN truth, and believe it 100%, no matter how much proof there is that you're wrong or insane."
And the funniest part of it all: you think that YOU are the really bright one who knows better than people who have spent their entire lives researching some topics, because....."well, I got this blog here, that was linked to on Drudge Report, that says...."
You're an embarrassment. Truly you are.
