Half of all Americans Now Categorized as "Poor" or "Low Income"

From Huffington Post. Tip o' the hat to @stacyherbert.

President Obama acknowledged Monday that inequality is on the rise "even though the economy is growing." That growth hasn't helped many people who lost mid-wage jobs during the recession. Half of the U.S. population is now considered poor or low-income, and income has been redistributed from the middle class to the very rich faster under Obama than under George W. Bush.
