We really need the statistics to back up Rush’s statement that wage earners at 50,000 and up are part of the top 10% - that is a HUGE statement. I looked at his transcript - he doesn’t give any reference. That is huge - I posted it on facebook and people are questioning that! Anyone know the details??
Here was one that I found:

Perhaps he meant one of the Top 10 countries with an average per capita income of $47,500.
