The New American Dream
What it takes to be a one percenter
By Tami Luhby @Luhby November 20, 2012: 2:13 PM ET
NEW YORK (CNNMoney)
It doesn't take a million bucks to get into the top 1%.
In fact, it took a little less than $370,000 in adjusted gross income in 2010 to make it into this elite group, according to newly released data from the Internal Revenue Service. That's up slightly from the $352,000 the year before.
But on average, the top 1% earned $1.12 million, up from $980,000 the year before.
The top 1% have been in the spotlight since Occupy Wall Street protesters first began camping out in cities across the U.S. last fall. The presidential campaign also centered on the haves and have nots, with President Obama calling for tax increases on the rich and challenger Mitt Romney arguing that taxing the wealthy would hurt the economy.

She voted with and for the Republicans for years so it is not surprising that they'd vote for her.

That's right. 17 fucking years of running her mouth about sanctity and faith.

That was rude and uncalled for. Your supposition is that I'm 'pulling for' a candidate.

Do you really want a discussion of what 'average', 'mean' and 'above' mean?

Hilary was not anti-equality. But she was politically expedient in support for gay rights.

Warren's analysis of our economic disease is shared by many libertarian/Tea Party Republicans.
