Some other income data for historical perspective, again CBO Isaac Send a noteboard - 14/04/2011 07:45:13 PM
This one's data, adjusted to 2007, showing the household incomes broken up into fifths, but again also with top 10%, 5%, and 1%, these are quintiles, feel free to name 'poor', 'working poor', middle, etc but I'm sticking with quintile - and goes from '79 to '07, I'm just sort of guessing arguments will be revolving around everyone's take on figures for next month or so I'm just putting these out without commentary or analysis, two quick obvious points, this is income per household adjusted for inflation, not a measure of wealth or the prosperity of those household, [edit: they actually do have some adjustments for household size, explained on sheet]

That's a breakdown of who modifies their returns and how it affects revenue. Tom - 14/04/2011 09:15:21 PM 562 Views
I see. Well, nevermind then. *NM* Macharius - 15/04/2011 01:37:13 PM 281 Views
I believe you are questioning one of my definitions, not one of my facts. Tom - 14/04/2011 04:36:35 PM 656 Views
No matter how you define it I think it would be hard to call the top 5% middle class random thoughts - 14/04/2011 05:03:33 PM 670 Views

You understand you're actually supposed to cite data for a fact check right? Isaac - 14/04/2011 06:38:22 PM 870 Views

Cutting the military isn't enough Roland00 - 16/04/2011 04:27:11 AM 630 Views
Defense is 60% of the discretionary budget as well, so it's more like 26% overall. Just sayin'. *NM* Ghavrel - 16/04/2011 04:53:30 AM 302 Views
