The Liberal Media has been complaining that the rich are getting richer and the poor are getting poorer, and that we are all doomed. But this isn’t true in very state. Insider Monkey analyzed 2008 and 2009 income distribution tables and found 6 states where the rich are getting poorer and the poor are getting richer.
