What does $50,000.00 give you?

It either gives you a median income for a family in the United States of America. Or it gives you a seat at a Romney fundraiser.

I’m not surprised at Mitt Romney’s comment at the now famous private fundraiser. What I’m surprised about is that very little has been made of the fact that each of the clients at the fundraiser paid $50,000.00. Roughly the same amount that half of US families earn less than. The median family income in 2011 was just above $51,000.00. Are you surprised that these very rich people cannot fathom what matters to the large majority of wage slaves. Or wish-they-could-be wage slaves as the case may be.
