re: >>> You are in error. The official statistics show exactly what I said: ...unlike the 1950's and the 1960's --- the real income of the middle class has stagnated between 1970 and now.

which is inflation adjusted (real) income in 2001 $$
it is a shame that you post claims about real stats without having a clue what those stats even look like
in your personal you are "Strategic Technologies Analyst" - for your sake I hope that it is a fancy name for a bathroom cleaner
