"Median per capita income was $18,700 in the United States in 2010 (which translates to about $75,000 for a family of four after taxes), up 20 percent since 1980 but virtually unchanged since 2000, after adjusting for inflation. "
This is incredible. Since 2000, there is no increase in median per capita income after adjusting for inflation ? Statistics like this bring in the 1% question at times and the comparison between the really rich and the rest of the population.

- nasmorn 12y agoAlso multiplying the median income by four seems absurd. My children certainly don't bring home the bacon like that. I seriously doubt that the median family of fours income is anywhere near 4 times the median personal income.
