The average U.S. worker produces $63,885 of wealth per year...

The operative word here is "average", in that some of us are more productive than others.  We see the variations here on these threads; while most of us like creating all the wealth we need, some feel they need to be protected by tax-hikes on other people's productivity.

Yes, averages are very misleading. The numbers are greatly distorted by outliers at the high end. For example, Google, a company with 10,674 employees has $13.43B in revenue or about $1.2 million in revenue per employee, which is about 19 times the average given in the report.
