Have you tried to feed and house and doctor a family of four on $50k? Tens of millions of Americans familes of 4 or larger get by much or less. I guess you think that there life sucks. I suspect the majority of them would disagree with you. Certainly they are by almost any measure wealthier then most of the rest of the world and doing ok compared to the typical family of four over most of our history. When I said it was an average income, I was talking about median income per worker not median income per family of four. A family of four can and often does have more than one worker. It might even have 4. So what......the median income of $50k includes those families. My original statement was about individuals making around $50k, not entire families. If you want to make some claim about median income of $50k feel free to do so, but it was not part of the conversation up to this point. $50k is far from wealthy but it is a solid middle class income. If you think $50k/year is poverty than I can see why you think poverty is rampant in the US. Tim
