Not bad if you can get it.
Thats the prevailing wage for the 400 richest people in the U.S. according to forbes magazine.
The minimum wage is 5.15 per hour
Does that make the average wage 90,122.825 per hour?
Not really, but that's sort of how the government figures it.
The median income of less than $45,000 is artifically inflated by adding in the wealthiest Americans
The top 5% ( 14,071,095 ) of families had an income of about 264,000 dollars
The top 1% ( 2,814,219 ) of families about $313,500 dollars
The top 1/10 of 1% ( 281,422 ) of families about 1,300,000 dollars
Now I'm not mad at any of these folks, and I guess those of us that didn't make a million dollars last year can keep playing the lottery.
But now that we're talking about percentages here's a number for you.
.000142
Thats the percent of the population of the wealthy few
on the forbes list of the 400 wealthiest Americans
THEY MAKE MORE IN AN HOUR THAN THE YEARLY MEDIAN INCOME OF THREE FAMILIES.
THESE ARE THE FOLKS THAT THE HANNITIES AND LIMBAUGHS AND OTHER RIGHT WINGERS KEEP TELLING US ARE PAYING TOO MUCH IN TAXES.
No more tax breaks for the ultra wealthy.
No more slave wages.
No more unfunded pension plans.
Income above 100 million from all sources
should be fairly taxed.
