I expect to pass through life but once. If therefore there be any kindness I can show, or any good thing I can do to any fellow being, let me do it now, and not defer or neglect it, as I shall not pass this way again...

I thought I was crazy for reading the entire chart. That was until I realized that somebody had to make the chart...
Credit to Magnetism for the awesome sig.

AMG this is awesome.
My favorite stat so far is the comparison of wages (American wages I'm assuming without looking at the source) which is quite telling.
In 2011 dollars, the average production worker wage in 1965 was $19.61, and by 2007 it had increased to $19.71 - ten cents! Meanwhile, CEO pay went from a 1965 average of $491.31 to a 2007 average of $5,419.97 - a difference of $4,928.66. WOW.
I'm still sorting my way though the yellow (rightmost) section. Absolutely jam packed full of fun stuff to know. There's a section on the 1%, relating to their taxes compared to everyone else's taxes. I'm to tired ATM to really comprehend that section very well, but I'll definitely be reading more of this tomorrow.

Oh, I live to be the ruler of life, not a slave.
