That link shows how wrong Rush is.
That’s for sure! I just cannot believe he would make such a HUGE statement like this if he didn’t have stats to back it up - this is causing lots of confusion!
I am not supporting rush one way or the other.
I don’t listen, have work to do.
But to answer the questions about salaries by percentage,
here’s another listing:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Affluence_in_the_United_States#Top_percentiles
acording to national taxpayers union website the threshold fo 1% is $343,927, 5% is $154,643, 10% is $112,124. these are 2009 numbers.
bottom 50% eran less than $33,000.
That is also 2007 data, probably from raw data 2-3 years prior, too.
