This meme attacks the current economic crisis by accusing wealthy elites of "bribing" workers to hide the truth, arguing that the "good ole days" (roughly 1985–1991) actually had much lower income inequality than today. The chart demonstrates that during this specific period, the top 1% of earners in the U.S. and Canada saw their income share skyrocket, which the meme presents as a deliberate fabrication to mask the fact that real economic inequality has only grown since the graph's timeline ended in 2012.
