I warned you!!

Remember the good old days, when the murder rate was going down (and I was arguing that rappers were responsible for it)? Well, them days are dead and gone, if I may.

But, what's the surprise? There's a grim determinism at work here. All during the 90s the worst off were actually improving their economic condition. Since that goddam dipshit GW stole the election, the worst off were getting worse, while the best off were stealing the store. (Check out the 2nd column from the left. Ignore the first set of stats, under "Current Dollars"; apparently Census Bureau types think "current" means "contemporaneous").
