Top 1%
You've no doubt heard all the talk about "The 1%", right?
This is the group of individuals who thru one means or another (many of them by working hard and by being wise stewards of their resources) have been successful in life to the point where their income is higher than 99% of the rest of the country.
Many of these folks are businessfolk, job creators, inventors, investors, entrepreneurs. Being successful. Doing something with their lives. Building and supporting our nation. Living the American dream.
They are really taking it on the chin from the Obama administration, the Democratic establishment, and the media.
Being punished, tarnished, beaten-down because others are jealous of what the 1% has been able to achieve in life.
Jealousy is a dangerous thing. Doesn't take much at all to turn into rage. And from there, it gets very ugly.
Anyway, here is an article that explains how much annual income a person has to make in order to be considered part of "The 1%".
For Illinois, that number is $413,000, which is the highest figure in the entire Midwest. Likely supported at that level by all the successful individuals living the the Chicago metro area.
In comparison, Indiana is a full $100k+ below that.
Interesting stuff folks.
Out for now......
