Tenchusatsu,
re:liberal media USAToday

There isn't net wealth figures available in the article, only the income chart.

Figures don't lie but liars figure.

Steve

fwiw, Rush is destroying the liberals and Germany and France with facts today, digging up some last year's news articles.

Re: net wealth gap

I think the article is referring to figures not shown in the chart. The 70% and 21% increasing "gaps" are referring to net "wealth" or worth, not net income.

The difference in median net wealth between the 10% of families with the highest incomes and the 20% of families with the lowest incomes jumped 70% from 1998 through 2001, the Fed said in its consumer finances report, which it conducts every three years. The gap between whites and minorities grew 21%.

I don't see where the gap between rich and poor grew by 70%, nor do I see where the gap between white and black grew by 21%. Is this yet another liberal push piece by the media, or am I missing something?


What don't you see? The wording is in English. Its also written clearly.

And frankly, I wouldn't bother to ask Dr. Steven L. King anything.......he's very busy having lots of dreams. LOL
