[quote=YourWakeUpCall;46602043]Please explain how you came to that conclusion. To be in the top 1% in the United States requires a personal income of $380,354. Only 6.9% of the people who responded to the poll make over $300K. Even if they all made over $380K, that's still far short of your claim of 20%.
True but the $380K is based on "individual tax returns" which can be filed by singles or by married couples (e.g., not filed by a business or a corporation). The top 1% income for singles alone is most likely less.
