I knew those super-rich people of yesteryear were lying about being educated overseas and when that crazy Kennedy sister allegedly got sent off to a private hospital it was really a State nut house.

Ever watch the movie Titanic?

Then again why let facts get in the way of the author's wandering, senseless rant?

Amazing people are still fighting to get into this country both legally and illegally.

and more than half made less than 30k. we're going in the wrong direction.


“When the average wage grows but the median wage stagnates, it means that, statistically, only workers in the top half of the job market are experiencing increases,” he writes.


most of the wage growth was for the top quarter of earners, or those who make about $50,000 and up. In fact, things are very good at the top. The number of workers making $5 million a year or more jumped by nearly 27 percent over 2011, and their total wages grew 40 percent, or 13 times the increase for all workers.

This income inequality has been growing since the 1970s, as the richest 20 percent of Americans saw their income grow much faster than the bottom 20 percent. But things have accelerated in the economic downturn. For the past three years, those at the top of the income ladder saw their incomes grow by 5 percent while everyone else’s income dropped.

Some handicappers blame themselves or chalk it up to circumstance when they bet wrongly and conversely others put blame on the sport itself being fixed.

You'll find the former will analyze what might have gone wrong in an attempt to prevent it from happening again while the latter will accept the sport is fixed and only change by playing names or numbers.

In life some will continually learn and try and better their life situation while others will accept life is fixed and rely on the lottery as their only chance for success.

Glad you are in the only depression proof business in the United States of America. Congrats. Just read the program and it says "Del Blinkers-On". I am doing very well now also but I would have to have my head up my ass till my shoulders to think that if the number of people with decent paying jobs keeps shrinking so will all my assets, stocks, houses, etc.... That is pretty fundamental.

Ignoring the stock market is at its all-time high. I now see the direct correlation.

Fundamental

What part of that future looking statement is too hard for you to understand? Also if you are basing your view of how things are based upon a FED Aided rally.. LOL, they can't keep pumping forever.

Since you think the Stock Market = Economy then you'll have no problem giving credit.

yeah, most business is dependent on people being able to buy. people lose buying power, companies lose sales.
it's too bad that people think they are an island, and that they aren't ever buffeted by other peoples' misfortune.

You don't have to be a Stanford Grad to understand that concept, right?
