wealthy, that's awesome, I'll have to remember that one. You probably
couldn't even get a lone for a Cessna 172 on $102,000/yr.


Let's see here. Less than 5% of the population makes more than $102K.
It's
probably closer to 3-4%.


What does 5% have to do with the fact that Obama said he's going to
increase SS taxes? Are you saying that if the tax doesn't affect you
its not a tax?


First answer my questions rather than snipping them and then we'll work on
yours. Fair enough?

Certainly not 1 in 20! If 1 in 20 Americans are wealthy (as you say)
we're pretty amazing.

Actually it's closer to 1 in 25, but now at least we have an idea of your
take.

Now, do you question my assumption that 90% of the population would consider
someone making that kind of money wealthy?

yea, I think if you asked people "Who much money would you have to
make a year to be wealthy?" They would say something like $500,000 or
$1,000,000.

On a wider basis, just about everyone in the USA can be considered
somewhat "wealthy."

I sure as hell don't, but you know how reality is biased that way.

Nothing to do with reality. That's strictly s relative point of view thing.
