Does anyone know where I can find a graph of what is considered the poverty level, along with the median and average income over the last 25 years or so. I think you’ll find the average rising much faster than the median, but that’s only my perception – I don’t have the data. What I didn’t see in that report was if we’re talking only about personal income – I suspect not. Including corporate taxes in those numbers should adjust everything thing to the high side. Your point is none the less valid, but I’m not convinced this is an accurate picture – all taxpayers is different from individuals. What is amazing to me is how low the median is – I think the poverty level for a family of four is considered to be near nineteen thousand dollars, or 2/3 of the median.
