You may be reading an extra zero in there somewhere.

Tiny text at the bottom:
‘Middle class comprises individuals making 75-200% of the median’.

If the US median is 300k, then it’s actually 250k-600k or so.

Biggest number on the X-axis is 40k.

Numeracy > Literacy

It's a poor choice for someone to have to deal with, I reckon. But the hierarchy is real.

All I know is that Bloomberg could give every American a million dollars and still be rich. Why can't we be more like Europe?

If we all have a million dollars, then being a millionaire is no different than having nothing, right?
The baseline simply moves from starting at zero to starting at $1 million.

(Not to mention I don't know who is going to work the next day for their normal weekly wage the day after we all get a million bucks. It's not the pancea people believe it to be. They think you can give everyone a million bucks, but someone will still be manning the starbucks and McDonald's window. Nope. They got a million bucks too. :lol: )

Well shit, I did misread that. Guess I just went from lower to upper. How is the ‘median’ $15/hr??

Came from one of your favorite publications, I'll just post the link:

(I posted the graph in isolation so Zero Hedge haters wouldn't be biased, since the data came from the OECD)
