    Considering none of images include year information, the figures are rounded to even 0s, and the fact that it’s a meme…

    It’s more than close enough. We’re arguing peanuts here, the premise of the meme is factual and backed by the data. But I admire your quest for truth and precision

      Nah it’s not even CLOSE to true though, that’s what I’m trying to say haha. The influence of the top 1000 on average income is off by at least an order of magnitude, probably more. I don’t like it when people double down on false information by saying “well it still makes a good point/it might as well be true/I would totally believe it if it actually happened”

        … the premise is that the upper class weigh heavily on the national average.

        Aquila showed you that it was still around 40k.

        Which you tried to disarm by saying that you found that number, 50k and other numbers without any sources.

        Census.gov says median household income was 74k which is right around 35-40k per person when considering household income as 2 sources of income.

        I don’t like when people try to distract, dismay, divide relevant talking points for the upcoming election.
