I was surprised at how much the top 1% of AGI has dropped in the US, per CNN. It went from 425k in 2007 to 345k in 2009. This is by household income, btw.

Not yet. Thanks for asking."The issue is there are still many people out there that use religion as a crutch for bigotry and hate. Like Ben."

Yes, as everyone loves to point out. I don't get why everyone seems to think that you are exploiting people just for being in the 1%. Excuse me, I have to go harass and insult some beggars hanging out on Murray Avenue.If there is no sound in space, how come you can hear the lasers?

I have no aspirations for management, so barring a lottery win I doubt I'll ever be in the 1%. And I also don't play the lottery.<p style="font-size:1024px">HTML is disabled in signatures </p>Comment

Is that global or just the US? I have trouble believing that 1/10,000 Americans makes $5 a year.If there is no sound in space, how come you can hear the lasers?

Barely in 2010. If recovery happens I expect to drop back out as top 1% returns back to mid 500k range. Likely wont have the big wife bonus that we had in 2010 either."Just puttin on the foil" - Jeff Hanson

I make between 5 and 15 times minimum wage (hourly, assuming a 3000 hour year). This is sufficiently broad that I'm not giving up anything...Originally posted by Barnabas View Post12-17-10 Mohamed Bouazizi NEVER FORGET
