But only if you’re already rich:
WASHINGTON - The average income of American families, after adjusting for inflation, declined by 2.3 percent in 2004 compared to 2001 while their net worth rose but at a slower pace.
The Federal Reserve reported Thursday that the drop in inflation-adjusted incomes left the average family income at $70,700 in 2004. The median, or point where half the families earned more and half less, did rise slightly in 2004 after adjusting for inflation to $43,200, up 1.6 percent from the 2001 level.
Off topic: Is there a reason why four of my comments disappeared? If you need to know the article links I can provide them.
Nope. I suppose they got caught in the spam filter. Unfortunately, WordPress doesn’t yet give ne the ability to pull them back out.
And they’re also very happy according to George Will. Regardless of their finances, though unfortunately most are unable to skim from a personal PAC like Senator Santorum and his wife. But instead the little woman will just have to get a job at WalMart, or Starbucks, hey there’s an idea then she can give hubby a free refill when he comes in to share some quality time on her 15 minute morning break. Free markets, wow.
No problem Susie. I have to admit my comments probably weren’t as clever as I thought they were at the moment I hit enter and it was no loss anyway.
