The wealthiest 10 percent of Americans — those making more than $138,000 each year — earned 11.4 times the roughly $12,000 made by those living near or below the poverty line in 2008, according to newly released census figures. That ratio was an increase from 11.2 in 2007 and the previous high of 11.22 in 2003. Household income declined across all groups, but at sharper percentage levels for middle-income and poor Americans. Median income fell last year from $52,163 to $50,303, wiping out a decade's worth of gains to hit the lowest level since 1997. Poverty jumped sharply to 13.2 percent, an 11-year high. "No one should be surprised at the increased disparity," said Richard Freeman, an economist at Harvard University. "Unemployment hurts normal workers who do not have the golden parachutes the folks at the top have." Analysts attributed the widening gap to the wave of layoffs in the economic downturn that have devastated household budgets. They said while the richest Americans may be seeing reductions in executive pay, those at the bottom of the income ladder are often unemployed and struggling to get by. Large cities such as Atlanta, Washington, New York, San Francisco, Miami and Chicago had the most inequality, due largely to years of middle-class flight to the suburbs. Declining industrial cities with pockets of well-off neighborhoods, such as Pittsburgh, Cleveland and Buffalo, N.Y., also had sharp disparities. Up-and-coming cities with growing middle-class populations, such as Mesa, Ariz., Riverside, Calif., Arlington, Texas, and Henderson, Nev., were among the areas showing the least income differences between rich and poor. It's unclear whether income inequality will continue to worsen in major cities, said William H. Frey, a demographer at the Brookings Institution. Many Americans are staying put for now in traditional cities to look for jobs and because of frozen lines of credit. "During the years of the housing bubble, there was middle-class movement from unaffordable metros with high-income inequality," Frey said. "Now that the bubble burst, more of the population may be headed back to the high-inequality areas, stemming their middle-class losses." Among other findings: _Income at the top 5 percent of households — those making $180,000 or more — was 3.58 times the median income, the highest since 2006. _Twenty-one states and the District of Columbia had higher poverty rates than the national average, many of them in the South, such as Mississippi (21.2 percent), Kentucky, Arkansas and Louisiana (each with 17.3 percent).

The income gap has been widening for some time and it's not the fault of immigrants. Info; "The disparities may be even greater for another reason. The Internal Revenue Service estimates that it is able to accurately tax 99 percent of wage income but that it captures only about 70 percent of business and investment income, most of which flows to upper-income individuals, because not everybody accurately reports such figures. The Bush administration argued that its tax policies, despite cuts that benefited those at the top more than others, had not added to the widening gap but “made the tax code more progressive, not less.” Brookly McLaughlin, the chief Treasury Department spokeswoman, said that this year “the share of income taxes paid by lower-income taxpayers will be lower than it would have been without the tax relief, while the share of income taxes for higher-income taxpayers will be higher.” Treasury Secretary Henry M. Paulson Jr., she noted, has acknowledged that income disparities have increased, but, along with a “solid consensus” of experts, attributed that shift largely to “the rapid pace of technological change has been a major driver in the decades- long widening of the income gap in the United States." Others argued that public policies had played a role in the shift. Robert Greenstein, executive director of the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities, an advocacy group for the poor, said that the data understates the widening disparity between the top 1 percent and the rest of the country. He said that in addition to rising incomes and reduced taxes, the equation should take into account cuts in fringe benefits to workers and in government services that middle-class and poor Americans rely on more than the affluent. These include health care, child care and education spending." http://www.nytimes.com/2007/03/29/business/29tax.html "Analysts attributed the widening gap to the wave of layoffs in the economic downturn that have devastated household budgets since the recession officially began in December, 2007.

You tell me I'm going to die in less than 3 years. Sounds like a lame, kooky threat to me. How is that a "practical observation"? Do you claim to be psychic, nutbar? Yes..it was a practical observation labled a death threat. Interesting how you tried to swerve away from your initial knee jerk reaction. As it happens..I have a strong feeling that in less then 3 yrs..the People are going to finally realize that the Leftwing extremists in the US are destroying it. They will rise up and simply kill each and every leftwing extremist that they are aware of. I fully believe that at least 175,000 Lefties will die in a matter of a month or two. Once the first killings start...it will be become open season on the rest. College professors, local government officials, that rat ******* that gave a guy a fine for not painting his house the approved color....shrug....a very long list. There will be no leaders, few groups, no "planned" attacks. But Joe Sixpack finally having enough and getting out his deer rifle, handgun, etc etc and taking out which ever Leftard he has chosen. And the military will sit back and wait for the gun fire, hangings etc etc to end. So will most of the police. The American Revolutionary War was fought by 10% of the People. 10% of the People who own firearms..150,000,000+...is 15 Million armed individuals, each one growing more and more ****ed off as each day..each liberty is removed. Shrug....and all it will take is 5-10 of them to take out some high profile targets..and the duck shoot begins. Some will be shot from long distances, some will be shot up close, some will be hung, some will be stabbed, some will be blown to bits, others will be subjected to hideious tortures until they die in screaming agony. Keep in mind that those 15 million people are made up of current and ex military, current and ex law enforcement, hard working individuals and small groups who have finally, had enough. The fact of the matter is..I fully believe that each and every leftist has a long list of people that fully believe that the world would be a far far better place if that particular Leftist was dead. And when the time comes...they will be made dead. Shrug..I hope Im wrong...but..I dont believe that I am. Im sure that there are people in your life that believe you should be dead, outside of Usenet.. With luck, they will kill you when the Great Cull comes. Now you can flee the US, stay on the run, or stay and die. Pretty much up to you. But the tide is building. This Great Depression Part Deux will be an ugly nasty one..and it will last for at least another 3 yrs. And the Leftists have caused a great portion of it in their attempts to Socialize America. And will indeed...pay for it. Blither all you want..you will likely be hunted down and killed by someone who knows you. And its totally unlikely you will be able to prevent it. Shrug...its a mean future you are looking at. Shrug. And Im going to be sitting on my front porch, feet propped up, playing the banjo in glee while listening to the body counts on the radio. And you..will be part of the piles of dead leftists bulldozed into mass graves. Shrug again. Whatever your position is..means nothing. You will be dead and no longer of any consideration as America rebuilds itself.

"Analysts attributed the widening gap to the wave of layoffs in the economic downturn that have devastated household budgets since the recession officially began in December, 2007. They said while the richest Americans may be seeing reductions in executive pay, those at the bottom of the income ladder are often unemployed and struggling to get by." what??? you mean the rich AREN"T taking care of the middle class like our sock puppets say they are?? that'll completely destroy rush limbaugh's reason for being on the radio The rich are parasites sucking off the fruits of other people's poorly paid labo Da! Comrade...verichie tobac verlose! You are a Good communist. When you are dead, you will be a Great! communist. Less than 3 yrs and you will become a Great Communist. Is that a death threat, kook? You need to be heavily medicated. So practical observations are now "death threats" in the Leftwing extremist fringe kook world? *Fascinating indeed. No, I'm asking you what you meant. You tell me I'm going to die in less than 3 years. Sounds like a lame, kooky threat to me. How is that a "practical observation"? Do you claim to be psychic, nutbar? Yes..it was a practical observation labled a death threat. Interesting how you tried to swerve away from your initial knee jerk reaction. Interesting how you lie and project. How did I try to swerve away? I asked you a direct question about it and you evaded it. That was ~you~ swerving away. As it happens..I have a strong feeling that in less then 3 yrs..the People are going to finally realize that the Leftwing extremists in the US are destroying it. They will rise up and simply kill each and every leftwing extremist that they are aware of. *I fully believe that at least 175,000 Lefties will die in a matter of a month or two. *Once the first killings start...it will be become open season on the rest. College professors, local government officials, that rat ******* that gave a guy a fine for not painting his house the approved color....shrug....a very long list. Since I'm not even in the US, you're not only a nutball, but a presumptuous one. This is nothing but a laughably empty threat against people you disagree with, disguised as a "prediction". This is a tactic terrorists often use, There will be no leaders, few groups, no "planned" attacks. But Joe Sixpack finally having enough and getting out his deer rifle, handgun, etc etc *and taking out which ever Leftard he has chosen. Implied threat again. ~You~ are Joe Sixpack- an uneducated, hateful, fascist moron. And the military will sit back and wait for the gun fire, hangings etc etc to end. *So will most of the police. Keep telling yourself that.* The American Revolutionary War was fought by 10% of the People. *10% of the People who own firearms..150,000,000+...is 15 Million armed individuals, each one growing more and more ****ed off as each day..each liberty is removed. *Shrug....and all it will take is 5-10 of them to take out some high profile targets..and the duck shoot begins. Naturally, you don't know your history. The AR was fought by organized state and local militias. Further, it's not the least bit analogous to the terrorism you are promoting. Left wingers in the US are not the occupying force of another nation. They are US citizens with the same rights as any other. You are treasonous nazi filth. You hate freedom and belong in Iran. Some will be shot from long distances, some will be shot up close, some will be hung, some will be stabbed, some will be blown to bits, others will be subjected to hideious tortures until they die in screaming agony. See a shrink at once instead of masturbating to sick torture and murder fantasies on usenet. Keep in mind that those 15 million people are made up of current and ex military, current and ex law enforcement, hard working individuals and small groups *who have finally, had enough. They don't exist except in your sick mind. The fact of the matter is..I fully believe that each and every leftist has a long list of people that fully believe that the world would be a far far better place if that particular Leftist was dead. *And when the time comes...they will be made dead. That is because you are insane. You are also admitting that right wingers are, by nature, genocidal fascists. Shrug..I hope Im wrong...but..I dont believe that I am. No you don't, liar. You desperately hope you're right. Im sure that there are people in your life that believe *you should be dead, outside of Usenet.. * Not a single one as far as I'm aware. See, unlike you, I'm not a hate- filled asshole, so people tend to like me. With luck, they will kill *you when the Great Cull comes. *Now you can flee the US, stay on the *run, or stay and die. But wait- didn't you just say you hoped it wouldn't happen? Now you say the opposite. Your slip is showing. Pretty much up to you. *But the tide is building. This Great Depression Part Deux will be an ugly nasty one..and it will last for at least another 3 yrs. *And the Leftists have caused a great portion of it in their attempts to Socialize America. *And will indeed...pay for it. To those of us who dwell in the real world, the economic meltdown in the US was precipitated by the unfettered ~greed~ of Wall Street. This is undisputed among economists. Funny how more "socialized" countries have been far less affected than the US, isn't it? You are utterly full of ****. Blither all you want..you will likely be hunted down and killed by someone who knows you. *And its totally *unlikely you will be able to prevent it. Implied threat noted, inept, genocidal terrorist wannabe. Go join your jihadist brothers, you traitorous POS. Shrug...its a mean future you are looking at. Shrug. It's a sad present ~and~ future you're looking at if you don't get medical help for your sick delusions. And Im going to be sitting on my front porch, feet propped up, playing the banjo in glee while listening to the body counts on the radio. And picking corn out of the two teeth left in your ****-encrusted mouth. And you..will be part of the piles of dead leftists *bulldozed into mass graves. Genocide gives you a hard-on, I know. You're not just a nazi, you're a totally ineffective one. Shrug again. Whatever your position is..means nothing. If it means nothing, why bother to use threats? Only scared people do that. Why are you so scared of opposing points of view, Gunner? Methinks it's because the truth is painful. You will be dead and no longer of any consideration as America rebuilds itself. You already are dead, Gunner. Dead inside. Gunner GUNNER'S PRAYER: "God grant me the serenity to accept the people that don't need to get shot, the courage to shoot the people that need shooting and the wisdom to know the difference. And if need be, the skill to get it done before I have to reload." Terrorist threat again noted, Perhaps some American reading this will report you to the proper authorities. I assume that's why you are trying to claim it's not an actual threat. No courage of your convictions, Gunner? Pussy. You have neither the skill nor the will to do what you threaten. It's just silly bravado from a gutless creep. |
