Honestly, this seems more nonsensical than commonsensical.

Exactly how does one prove that democrats "grown income equally between percentiles and faster than Republicans for everyone (including the top 95th percentile)"? Does this mean that while democrats were in office that income grew faster for everyone? How does one prove that this is a direct result of Democratic action, and not a lagged response to something that their predecessors might have done? What exactly do democrats do that makes them lucky enough to preside over prosperous economic times?

My apologies, but I find these findings dubious at best- and I'm curious as to which economists helped Mr. Bartels obtain these results.
