Some very good charts from Rolling Stone

A rolling Stone article on How the GOP became the party of the rich (read it!, http://www.rollingstone.com/politics/news/how-the-gop-became-the-party-of-the-rich-20111109?print=true )
had these excellent graphs:

6. I remember reading one of the early Forbes 100 richest Americans issues

It must have been in the early 1980s, just after Reagan was elected. I think there were only 4 billionaires in America. The rest had reported worths in the hundreds of millions. Now, its become the Forbes 400 and quite a few of them are billionaires. Being a billionaire is not as rare now, but the gap between rich and everyone else has become much wider.

Very nice looking charts, from a graphics point of view.
