Reply #2: average vs median [View All]

[Juche]

It is worse when you calculate median instead of average incomes.

At the same time this is happening taxes on the rich are going down dramatically. Federal income tax, dividend tax, capital gains tax & estate tax have all gone down or are being eliminated. Taxes on the middle class like sales, property or FICA are going up.

I don't think this is sustainable for much longer. The tide can be held back a little longer by dufus distractions or who puts their hand where during the national anthem but it isn't sustainable. In 10 years when only 40% of jobs offer healthcare, people can't afford homes or college and people are really struggling, not even flag pins will distract the public from voting their interests.
