I've never considered a income of 225K to be rich. Again, if you think it is then you dont understand the problem.

Talk about thread fail.
The income for the top 1%'s was about $370K in 2010..

$25K a month puts him at $300K, and thats probably not his only income..

And as I have REPEATEDLY said, the 1% isnt where real income inequality shows up, in fact 50% of the income of the 1% is found in...the .1%

entry to the .1% requires a income of 1.9 million a year.

This isn't his only income. This is simply his payoff for carrying the water.

Now you're moving the bar from 1% to .1%..

I dont really care one way or another, I just find the humor of the very posters who run around whining about the rich vs poor, suddenly coming to someone sdefense who's clearly rich by claiming he's not wealthy enough..

There are people making more than 1.9 million a year? So what? They aint hurting no one. Probably making other people's lives (like yours) better or they wouldn't rake in the big bucks.

It's NOT a waste..........the Dumdumocrats are recycling the 1% meme because IT WORKED, and will work again and again and again.
