15. The median income is around 20-40k and someone making 100k calls themselves "middle class",...

....because they compare themselves with people making millions.

The income disparity has gotten WAY out of hand.

On Real Time Bill asked the panel if they could live on 30k and former Bush Press Secretary Dana Parino said, "Of course not." (She probably gets 50k just for showing up at some places. 150k to flap her gums for three minutes before introducing someone.)

The general consensus from the wealthy is the lower classes should not have it better because they don't deserve it and they wouldn't know what to do with it anyway because they are ignorant scum and always have been. Besides, the world is designed to where they don't have to even SEE "those people" if they don't want to.

I notice the show "Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous" is no longer on. The rich want the public to believe times are tough for EVERYONE.
