I'd bet that they out earn whites. Just a hunch. Same with immigrants from India and the Middle East. Same for Euro/Russian immigrants.
Why? My guess would be that they have a bigger entrepreneurial spirit than most whites, blacks and latinos. Being thrifty and having a family owned business seems to be the norm.
Nope..Asians have fallen below whites in the latest study median income of $78,066 for Asians compared to $113,149 for whites

That is a bit suprising. I'd like to see a comparison that excluded the top and bottom 10%. I think that the mega rich at the top skew the results quite a bit. I sure as heck am not earning $113,000.
I have a master's degree and no prison record nor do I have a drug record. Why is my job barely paying me anything?

So you are equally as enraged at the boards of directors who do no innovative work; continuously fail; steal money from the government; and give themselves huge bonuses and corporate jets??

Those figures refer to net wealth, not an annual salary. Someone who is retired, has no pension but owns a house worth $150,000 would fit in that category. So saying someone has a net worth of $113K ain't impressive at all.
I see the astroturfers (disinformation agents) are out spreading hate.
The average petulant conservative person doesn't whine and cry when corporations do poor work and then take millions of welfare money: GM, AIG, Goldman, Wal-Mart, Wallstreet, etc.

Liberals will undoubtedly use this as another reason why we should throw more money and resources to entitlements and government handouts, but that is exactly what is perpetuating the problem seen today.
