So wait a minute. 330k people made more than 150 MILLION people? Why do I think you're including retirees and schoolkids in that 150 million? The TOTAL number of workers in the U.S. in 1999 was around 90 million. There is no way that it's 150 million just ten years later. I think that if you count all the bums, 6-year olds, criminals in jail, and pensioners that didn't save and cling to Social Security, then yeah, there are 330k high achievers out there that make more than them. It's also a completely irrelevant comparison unless you're trying to pretend to some great, evil disparity in America. I also like the term "received income." It comes from the sky. It's a great cover for the people who "receive" it from government payments (AKA from the rest of us) and diminishes the income that is earned by actual workers by implying that they just "receive" it, too. It just appears on their doorstep in the morning; it's like magic.... Feh, the verification system is acting oddly. If this posts twice, sorry.
