Money and Power in America

Most Americans naturally trust that our leaders are working for the benefit of us all. It's a reasonable and often unexamined assumption. But is it true?

Examine the distribution of income and wealth in America, and see where you stack up in the American economy. To find your Income Group, estimate your household After-Tax yearly income, then look at the chart to find your Group. If your household income is $43,000, you are in the Yellow group and are right at 50 %. Half the households in the country make less than yours, half make more. If you make over $373,000, you are in the Top 1 %, the Aristocracy.
