and you don't seem able to answer even one of three simple questions, so it looks like there are problems all over the place in this thread, aren't there?

Did you even read the link I sent out? I was comparing the top 0.1% AGI with middle class incomes (AGI as well). It is a direct apples-to-apples comparison. So instead of attacking me on false grounds, can you answer my questions?
