150,240.50 PER HOUR

Not bad if you can get it.
Thats the prevailing wage for the 400 richest people in the U.S. according to forbes magazine.
The minimum wage is 5.15 per hour
Does that make the average wage 90,122.825 per hour?
Not really, but that's sort of how the government figures it.
The median income of less than $45,000 is artifically inflated by adding in the wealthiest Americans
The top 5% ( 14,071,095 ) of families had an income of about 264,000 dollars
The top 1% ( 2,814,219 ) of families about $313,500 dollars
The top 1/10 of 1% ( 281,422 ) of families about 1,300,000 dollars
Now I'm not mad at any of these folks, and I guess those of us that didn't make a million dollars last year can keep playing the lottery.
$ 113,000,000,000,000

DEMOCRATS ONLY NEED TO KNOW ONE THING.
If you made more than one hundred million dollars last year we MIGHT NOT BE YOUR BEST FRIEND.
EVERYONE ELSE SHOULD VOTE FOR A DEMOCRAT.
No more tax breaks for the ultra wealthy.
No more slave wages.
No more unfunded pension plans.
Income above 100 million from all sources should be fairly taxed
ONE HUNDRED THIRTEEN TRILLION DOLLARS.
ONE HUNDRED THIRTEEN MILLION MILLION DOLLARS.
ONE HUNDRED THIRTEEN THOUSAND BILLION DOLLARS.
ONE HUNDRED THIRTEEN THOUSAND THOUSAND THOUSAND THOUSAND DOLLARS.
That is the amount of wealth held by less than 1/2 of 1% of the population of our country.
The wages of the top chief executives increased by 54 PERCENT LAST YEAR.
An additional one million people living below the poverty level.
NO MORE GOVERNMENT FOR THE WEALTHY BY THE WEALTHY.
Judith Miller gets her story straight

Looking at the list of Judith Miller's visiters makes me think just one thing.
Miller and the representatives of the far right, in politics and media, have just been getting their story straight.
I don't know who the fall guy will be for the administration this time, but whoever it is will be rewarded as soon as the media gets distracted by something else.
