Canada's middle class Is better than ours. This is despite...

[Toddsterpatriot]

If you’re a proud member of America’s middle class, you may have been startled to learn last week that your after-tax income now makes you worse off than your Canadian neighbors to the north.


Median per capita income in the U.S. has barely budged since 2000, while Canadians have seen their median income jump 20 percent.

Holy crap! There may be a less useful stat than "median per capita income", but I'll be damned if I can think of it.

Median means you line up all the numbers from lowest to highest and the number in the middle is the median.
How you turn that into a per capita number is some kind of liberal head-up-assery for sure.
Did they take the median household income and divide it by the average household size?

Wow, moronic for sure.
.

The median would be the middle class duh. The average would be higher because of the HUGE income of the few megarich at the top after 35 years of Voodoo, dupe...

The median would be the middle class duh.

Bullshit. You think the middle class is $18,700 per person? Dupe.

^ Dope.

Frank is a dope, dork and dupe.

A median of 18k is pathetic. And I suppose it's all because of all Obama's policies and laws, which the dupes pontificate about, but can't identify- mainly because of total GOP obstruction all of his administration. The New BS GOP and its dupes are a disgrace.

Calculating a median in that way is pathetic.

How America's middle class fell behind its Canadian neighbours

If you’re a proud member of America’s middle class, you may have been startled to learn last week that your after-tax income now makes you worse off than your Canadian neighbors to the north. They can now claim the title of the richest middle class on the planet.

Let’s take a look at the bombshell that the New York Times dropped in our midstlast week. It’s based on data from the Luxembourg Income Study Database, and focuses squarely on median income.

That means that instead of being distorted by the impact of millionaires and billionaires becoming still richer and the wealth gap becoming still wider, using this data gives analysts a sense of the experience of the average household in any given country. It also means an economist can compare overall economic growth of a country to the experience of individual households in that country – and by those standards, the United States just doesn’t come off that well.

Because while our economy has been growing more rapidly than those of other nations, a smaller percentage of those households is sharing in that prosperity, the data suggests. (Income inequality is at its highest level since 1928.)

Income, take home pay, better for the middle class Canandian than for the middle class American. looks like Billy was right on this.

If median earners aren't the middle class, then what does the middle mean?

Median earners are $50,000-$200,000.
That's half the earners and half the money.

You are truly dumb my friend.

Median means exactly the 50th percentile.
By definition, the MIDDLE CLASS would have to be something like the 40th to 60th
percentile.

A 200K earner is a 1%er in the 99th percentile.

Income isn't a bell curve.

And you aren't smart.

If that's the median, just proves what a bust Reaganism is, except for the richest.

If that's the median

Median per capita. Derp!

just proves what a bust Reaganism is,

8 years of Clinton and 8 years of Obama still couldn't fix it? That's funny.

Median per capita?
Per capita of what?

The median is the median.

Median per capita?
Per capita of what?

I agree, one of the dumbest stats I've ever seen.

No answer?
You don't know what you were saying there?
Surprising.

It's a stupid, useless stat.
I can see why you'd like it though.

 

[Toddsterpatriot]

Yup, Bush allowed the stupid push to give mortgages to bad risks.
Even helped it along.

Thank god Dems got in fast this time.

Yeah, Obama fixed things so fast, the recession ended in June 2009.
I know he's a magic negro, but even you can't credit the recession's end to anything he did.

Of course the weakest recovery ever is all his.

All GOP's, dummie. Or where is the infrastructure, immigration bills, min wage hike, free community college, training for 4 million tech jobs going begginf, tax reform or ANYTHING he wanted the last 6 years. Duh dupe.

Stimulus worked, ran out in 2010. Along with working congress.

All GOP's, dummie.

Reagan never had a GOP House. Only had a GOP Senate for 6 years.
Obama had House and Senate, with large majorities, for 2 years. Had the Senate for 6 years.
And you've been whining about how much Reagan got done and how little Obama got done.

Are Dems always gonna be such whiney pussies?

Dupe.

Stimulus worked,

Derp.

You know, it's so dumb to point out the Dem majority and assert that it's their fault that the world's problems weren't solved during that time and say nothing of the party who has the majority of the rest of the time.

The Repubs will have had both houses for the same time come Jan 17. Should the world be fixed by then?

You know, it's so dumb to point out the Dem majority and assert that it's their fault

Not as dumb as blaming a guy elected 36 years ago and ignoring the 16 years of Dem Presidents since.

We're blaming the Reaganism that still dominates the US, not Reagan himself. He would think today's Reaganism is ridiculous under these circumstances. Idiot.

Clinton and Obama propagated Reaganism?

 

[francoHFW]

obama's policies have really hurt the middle class in the USA. For the first time I can recall their overall net worth has dropped. Simply amazing that you progressives think he's a good POTUS.

They dont get it. They complain about rising income inequality and then somehoe turn around and believe that Democrats have not run things for 8+ years.

Still have Reaganist tax rates and loopholes wrecking the middle class, dupe. WHAT OBAMA LAWS AND POLICIES?!?

Still have Reaganist tax rates and loopholes wrecking the middle class

Reagan's top rate was 28%, the current 41% highest rate is because of liberals.
Why hasn't that helped the middle class?

Loopholes everywhere. Everyone is paying 20-30% in all taxes and fees and all the new wealth goes to the richest.

8 years of Clinton, he had House and Senate too for his first 2 years, he didn't fix what you're whining about?
8 years of Obama and he couldn't fix it?
Why are Dems unable to fix what you're blaming on Reagan?
He eliminated a lot of loopholes with his last rate cut.
Dems since then must have added them back.
Fuckin Dems, eh?

Heard of Booosh reconciliation? Why does the GOP need 51 votes to cut taxes but Dems need 60 to raise them? What a mess.
