I’ve done an exhaustive search on the web to support this and cannot find anything. everything I read says if you make 50,000, you are in the top 50%. If you make 75,000 you are in the top 25% and so on...So, it just doesn’t seem possible that a family making 50,000 could be included in the top 10% - unless he is making the assumption of a household with two incomes at 50,000 each?
The average family income is something like 37K, so I’d bet that 50K is definitely in the top tier...
Now, I wish this damn “alternative energy” dude would just STFU....blablablabla
He must of had some kind of backup to say that....I sent him an email asking him to name a source.....everyone should send an email. That’s a huge statement....one that I want to post on a billboard if it’s true.
Dunno.
Could just be that he’s using the OccuPukes definition for the Top Ten Percent.
