btw - did you read the article I linked in reply to your link?


Indeed I did. I noted particularly that the article was written at the
height of a presidential campaign by people who had a clear ax to grind,
that the figures it relied on are two years old, and that the statistics
chosen were carefully chosen to omit information that might not support
the
authors' politics. For example, if the percentage of po' folks remains
constant from one year to the next, the number of po' folks will increase,
because the population is larger. The article carefully omits any
reference
to the comparative percentages. Similarly, any mention of median income
should be accompanied by a disclosure of mean income. Again omitted.

In short, I gave your opinion piece all the weight it deserved.

But hey, fanaticize away.
