My Money is Your Money

My morning podcast is a wonderful thing. Last year I stepped into the iPod world, finally convinced to do so by iTunes U (I like music but don't make time to listen to it). Now, when I manage to make it to the gym, I like to listen to lectures, interviews, and essays.

This morning I listened to a podcast that begins this way:

Since 1980, adjusted for inflation the total national income of the U.S. rose by 70%. During that time 90% of Americans had an income growth of 0%.

Well, it's no secret I suppose that the podcast is about taxes, but, believe it or not, it isn't much about income taxes.

I plan to make the book one of my airplane companions. I've not read it, so I can't endorse it wholeheartedly.
