Yeah, of course almost all of the income gains from the recovery went to the top 1%. Their income is highly volatile and they took a large part of the income losses from the recession. The wealthy can tolerate a lot more risk than the not-so-wealthy. That doesn't have much to do with the fact that most of the American population is not earning much more now than it did in the 1970's.
