OMFG...
I'm rich and i didn't even know it! EDIT: Probably because I screwed over all those po' folks on welfare. By getting loans and paying for my own education, and then working hard to get a good job... God I'm a slimy bastard... |

My 2005 entitlements were $48660.71. I am a E-5 in the Navy. I highly doubt I am in the top 1%.

Everything's relative. Do you have running water? Electricity? A phone? A car? Do you miss many meals? In the US, our poor are well off by the standards of many countries. |

You're poor in America if you don't have cable, a big screen TV and only one car. Or so the libs would have you to believe.

Well, the average per capita income in Sierra Leone is somewhere around five hundred US dollars a year...
But I'd say it's closer to the top 10%, given Switzerland, Austria, France, Germany, U.K., etc. |

I dunno. Depending on what stats you believe, the average income in China is anywhere from 400 bucks to 13,000 bucks. They make up ~20% of the world population. That's going to bring the average down pretty sharply. |

If you also notice that poor in America are fat and elsewhere theya re skinny. Here mst overweight folks are in the lower income brackets. I also jst noticed that there are no fat kids in the school I for for. Its a private school that costs aound $13k a semester. When I go the the public school system to get my kids. I see fat kids everywhere. |

Yeah, but what about the states we live in? That much is the bare minimum to make it alive in NY. I would say 60k before taxes is enough or barely.

if you dont believe this then you havent been anywhere more exotic than the podunk county fair. its not that hard to believe if you consider the global population and that the most populous country in the world lives under a communist entitlement system. most of latin america raises a family for a year on what a middle class american brings home in a month. only in america does the poorest class of people have a cellphone, car's and HUD houses.

Kind of a BS statistic, because $47,500 will buy you a hell of a lot more in Bangladesh than in CA.
Just the same, I would rather be homeless is CA, than Middleclass in Africa. |
