Back in them sinful Seventies, folks like Bill 'O's daddy were out there a sweatin' fer a real livin', not jest collectin' a relief check whilest their kids wuz sittin' around a Newark cold-water tenement house, a suckin' on paint chips. You jest don't git that there is some folks who counts, and others that don't. There's poor (pronounced "po"), but proud, and then there is gutter scum, not worth shootin'.

My, how poverty-stricken!<BR/><BR/>The figure you cite is for <I>household</I> income. The median <I>individual</I> income for those over 18 in 2005 was <A HREF="http://pubdb3.census.gov/macro/032006/perinc/new02_001.htm" REL="nofollow">$25,149</A>. Which makes those 35,000 1978 dollars nearly 40% above <I>today's</I> individual income.<BR/><BR/>BO's father made "only" $35,000 a year? I remember when my father was proud that he'd reached $10,000 and several years later was almost ecstatic that he made $20,000.<BR/><BR/>"Humble roots?" Just more BO BS.Lotushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16774266443353774752noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11753985.post-15153743111317754432008-05-01T15:00:00.000-05:002008-05-01T15:00:00.000-05:00I have taken the liberty of linking to this articl...I have taken the liberty of linking to this article on my website, http://www.marchreport.com/; it at the bottom of column 1 in the "Blogs" section (or, it is today [2008-05-01]; the sections move around).

Bill O'Reill...Wow, this is really food for thought! Bill O'Reilley is obviously selfish and greedy and awful for keeping all of those millions for himself. At $9 million per year, his evilness is just so in your face. It's criminal, really, what say you? But I wonder...just how much is the right amount a person should make these days, adjusted for inflation of course, in order to have enough to get by but still not feel guilty? And if you cross the line and earn an obscene amount though no fault of your own, what should you do with the excess? Surely this stuff can be quantified, and the blogosphere is just the place to get the job done, what say you?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
