the 40%

100% is the total population . (according to the US Census Bureau 100% is 307 Million) which means 1% is 30.7 Million. Wow ... so 3.07 MILLION people have the most wealth. (1% is allot of people!) According to the US dept of Labor we have 9.1% unemployment. 307 million X .091 = 27.94 Million out of work yeah not good but we didn't adjust the numbers for underemployment either but since no one can seem to agree what that means we will leave it alone. What this also means is that 100% - 10. 1 % = 89.9% This is how many Americans have jobs that are not in the OMG range of pay 307,000,000 x .891 + 273.5 million that have jobs. Now how many non degree skilled trade jobs are available in America? as a Building Super I have a hard time finding people who are qualified for the jobs my company has open. seriously.. I work for for a major real estate corp and we honestly need building engineers, HVAC techs and skilled tradesmen. There are jobs folks! lots of them. No they don't have a 35th floor corner office but hell you want to make a pay check and earn a living or do you want a view? 70% of Americans make 70,000 or less a year. Most Skilled trades make 40,000 a year or more after a couple of years of training. (that's at the 45% level for USA) 50,0000 after a couple more (hey that's 55%) So come join the 45% to 70% range in America. We pay our bills and work our asses off. Yes there is at least 30% richer than the top of us but I don't care! I have enough to pay my bills and still buy something special for the My Wife and Kids. you want something from Corporate America, well stop asking for the corner office and start asking for the wrench. if we don't produce we have no GNP. Come and join the 60 to 70%! We need you! And if you are honestly tired of corporate domination of America get your ass out and vote! I am one of the 40% who voted how about you?
