"Median per capita income was $18,700 in the United States in 2010 (which translates to about $75,000 for a family of four after taxes), up 20 percent since 1980 but virtually unchanged since 2000, after adjusting for inflation. "
This is incredible. Since 2000, there is no increase in median per capita income after adjusting for inflation ? Statistics like this bring in the 1% question at times and the comparison between the really rich and the rest of the population.
Also multiplying the median income by four seems absurd. My children certainly don't bring home the bacon like that. I seriously doubt that the median family of fours income is anywhere near 4 times the median personal income.
