NOT mentioned in those articles is that the top 1-5% of income earners are making their money off the labors of the bottom 95%.

And that they pay the salaries of those 95% so they can actually feed their families and pay the mortgage. But yea, we call it capitalism.

They make their money off the labors of another? uh, ok. then is it fair to say the bottom 95% are leaching off the top 5% because they don't provide the financing and structure for their own jobs?

that is a seriously ridiculous statement.

and BTW - my numbers came from actual tax returns I held in my hands and saw with my own eyes. The accountants I was working with said that is about normal. I don't know your specifics.

I would like to see those same numbers in increasingly graduated amounts of 50k up to 500k, just for grins. It will not be a linear progression.
