The Snopes site makes me wonder why one never sees the mean, median, and mode of incomes from a particular region. Here in the USA, it appears to me that wealth patterns have shifted from a diamond shape, with very few in abject poverty, and very few filthy rich, with a broad middle class, to one of an hourglass shape, with many poor, few middle class, and many rich. How do you people see it?
