I notice that the 1% declined under Bush & Reagan... and improved under Clinton--and even Obama the corporatist/pseudo-socialist/reformer of "business as usual"/"man of the people" (yeah right).

This tells you only half the story - the other half lies in the other 30 years before 1979 - a story that has been conveniently omitted!
