Patio, pay good attention to MainFrame. I have 3 friends who either own or work for subchapter S corps. They file as individual taxpayers, but they really are companies.
The IRS statistics are misleading because of this.

The other factor to consider is that small business owners even in corporations (ours only has 5 employees) rarely take their full compensation as salary.

Wage statistics do not really tell the whole story.

I wouldn't believe anything that self-centered, egomaniac, evil piece of waste matter said. I he were to tell me that it was raining and I saw the drops, I'd still stick my hand out of the window to verify his assertion. Hell, today, he is upset because his entire three-hour diatribe is not carried on AFN because, of course, he is the most important single voice on the public airwaves. Being a legend in one's mind does not entitle a person to insist that others believe in his omniscience.

$100,000 in most of New Jersey or the San Francisco Bay Area is not the same as $100,000 in Kansas or Iowa. In some parts of the country, you can get a nice house for $50,000. In other parts of the contry, you can't even buy any house at that price.

Ain't that the truth. The county I live in is a San Francisco Bay Area county, and the median home price is over $450,000. That's not much of a house where I live. That's a two-bedroom, no garage fixer-upper on a teeny-tiny lot.

The thing to keep in mind with this is since the top 50% pay 96% of the taxes think how much the illegal aliens are contributing to our treasury.

1or 2% if we are lucky!

Go to the IRS web site. They have tables on income.

Probably almost everyone.

Oh...you meant per year?

That's crazy talk.

I forgot the decimal point!

.1 or .2%, if we are lucky!
