You haven't been listening very well, then. Household income is up since the early 70s, but that's largely due to more women working -- i.e., more two-earner households. Individual incomes have been stagnant or falling since then, consistently, except for a few years during the Clinton Administration.
Given that you've been pontificating about economic issues on this board for weeks or months, I find it surprising that you don't know one of the basic economic facts of our generation -- that individual incomes have suffered an unprecedented fall.
But I'm sure none of this affects your arguments either, right?
