Did you article state that people in those income ranges wages are not keeping up with inflation or cost of living?

I am guilty of charge too because I have a pile of stuff I pulled out of a closet to reorganize and here I sit. LOL

<ONE side of the equation.>>


ok, then please do show me which of my sources you have an issue with


I get what biased means, i just don't believe you are correct in claiming that i get my info from biased sources (and since you mentioned it twice now, i would like to see some evidence of what you are accusing me of)


because i get most of my info from the tax foundation, IRS, and brookings institute...


on the other hand, i didn't find the link you provided

i opened that link you just sent...to that person's newspaper article (one person)


and while it was interesting, it was entirely discussing wealth, not income...


wealth is VERY different than income, and wealth is not taxed, so fairly irrelevant.


take for example the 20 year old CEO....too young and new to have accumulated much wealth, yet a top earner income wise....


or take the 90 year old investor, who has little income, but huge wealth.

Raising taxes on the employers isn't going to do much for the income level of the employees.

Raising hand! More than half my family's income came by way of unearned income last year. My marginal tax rate is about 10% less than the same family who makes only earned income for the same amount.
