    It would be much more helpful if the IRS would provide the income concentration data by individual – it’s not like they don’t have that data from W-2s and 1099s, which are issued to a single Social Security or Taxpayer ID number – there is really no legitimate reason that they cannot.

    I hope ironman means “individual percentile”, not “individual filer”. TMI.

    The author of the chart seems to think increasing income share of top earners is a good sign, and the lack of a bounceback in income share of bottom earners is a bad sign. It’s share (ratio, proportion, slice of the same pie).If the top and the bottom get more pie, …. what happensto middle old me?
