Who makes the big bucks in America?

Middle-aged white couples.

We all know that income is concentrated in the United States, but Sentier Research has crunched the data to show just who has the money.

Take a look at the breakdown by race:

Middle-aged white couples have worked their arses off for 25+ years rather than sitting on them collecting gubbmint welfare and food stamps. Thus it is logical that they will have more money.

Of course, logic and liberalism never go together.

The bioggest problem the Government has now is figuring a way to steal the rewards of all that hard work and give it to those who wouldn’t hit a lick at a biting fly.

Don’t worry they will figure it out.

Hey CNN why are your ratings at 20 year low?

Racism is one reason.

The height of employment for women was April 2008.

Now under Obama there are over 1 million less women in the workforce.

And the core working age group 25-54 is the lowest since 1981 if not ever.

So, keep up your race baiting....it’s really gettin ya places, eh?

Of course we middle aged White couples have more money and income. My wife and I both worked our entire work lives as one income would not put us in the middle class. I remember driving to work with my wife during her two pregnancies as she was barfing in a plastic bad due to morning sickness. I’s say, “Should we turn around for home.” She would reply, “No, I can be sick at work as well as at home and we need the money.” Neither of us ever got an unemployment check as we got other jobs soon on our own.

Plus, we saved for our future and for what our kids would need as they grew. We passed on luxuries and had a budget. I never bought a boat or ATV or motorcycle like my neighbors did.

We never qualified for a single government benefit as we looked into it and found we were were always just over the income levels. We got the usual tax deduction for a kid, but our jobs were late in enacting the child care pre tax savings deal, so never got that savings. We paid our kids college 100% with no federal gimmies.

I’m not complaining as this work ethic has put us into a comfortable retirement. I’m saying we “rich” have earned our money and should not be put in a bad light by the jealous socialists for having some money now.

Jon Corzine has pretty much most of the money now.

Bless you and your wife. If all were like you, this country would be even greater than it now is.

Same here, I call it just living within your means and planing for the future.
It may sound mean to some, but those that don't or didn't, I have no sympathy for.
