Reply #128: All you've got left is insults since you don't have any FACTS on your side.

The reality of the distribution of income is this - there are far MORE incomes clustered around the MEDIAN income than there are clustered around the 90th percentile for household income or the 95th percentile for individual income. More than 50% of American households make LESS than 50k/year. Only around 25% make 75k or more and only around 10-11% make 120k or more.

You can't be typical if you numerically are NOT typical.

I win this argument.
