Those figures are austounding. I knew many were having problems making ends meet and now I can see why in graphic details.
Of course some are missed in the numbers i.e. those working for cash. I had some tree work done here and the guy only wanted cash or check made out to someone else. I am sure it never found its way onto the income statement but I am not the IRS. Also, as someone pointed out, the income figures do not include the bennies or “entitlements”. They add up but again do not put one into the rich category. Lastly, don’t over look how the income bands are narrowed due to the fact most do not pay income tax.
Now I see why the Clinton people were looking into the idea of income imputing on the value of owning a home and paying no rent i.e. estimating what it would cost to rent and adding that to one’s income.
The end is coming quickly now, comrade.
There aren't any benefits and entitlements any more...Pensions are gone...
