[QUOTE="Tyrone Slothrop, post: 77698, member: 4701"] How about one back at you? How much cash would a person making $20k/yr have left over after paying for food, clothing, housing, heating, transportation and out of pocket medical/dental? How much would a person making $200k/yr have left? Or figure it as a percentage. What percent of the above examples income goes to basic needs? That should be easy enough for you to compare. PS--I wouldn't label myself as a 'liberal', any more than I would label you as a 'dittohead'. Labels tend to simplify a complex matter to the point that they are mostly meaningless. I believe todays NYTimes has a front page article on Americans' savings rates, if you are interested; short story---they are at their worse since the depression. [/QUOTE]
