It got worse in the 80s, but it seems to have stopped.  Right?  Am I reading this wrong?

This is misleading as the graph was made into three broad categories, it doesn’t look at the gains by several income quintiles showing the less percentage brackets on top, the more they gained.

"Income inequality" isn't an issue, like if everyone got paid the same no matter what, why would anyone ever be motivated to do better in life or work hard?

Not to mention that reducing income inequality would take Soviet style totalitarian economic policy on the part of the government.
