Skydivers Economic Class

[Amazon 7]

Just curious where all the skydivers in SC fit into the income heirarchy and where you fit in class structure.

And lets not pretend that most of the so called independents around here overwhelmingly are closet republicans.

I am not talking about where you WISH to be... but current REALITY!!!

You only have entries for democrats, republicans, people who live outside the US, and those with seven figure incomes.

Many of us are none of the above.

Ok, we won't pretend. So where is the "independent" option?

[CanuckInUSA 0]

You did forget independents. But I guess people could treat "NON-US" as independents if people really wanted to participate here. BTW ... salary is not the best indication of wealth or poverty. A more accurate way to gauge things is assets versus liabilities. But that would make for a boring poll.

Try not to worry about the things you have no control over

Its more of a WHO do you REALLLLLLY vote for... but I was also curious of the non Americans who have to put up with the American political bickering.

I don't see much difference between the Republicans and Democrats. They both want a big governments and don't believe in the tenth amendment. Although the Republicans are supposedly pro-rich the tax system became more progressive under Bush 43. Although the Democrats are supposedly tax-and-spend liberals, Bill Clinton was responsible for well-fare reform and a balanced budget under accepted voting rules.

I often vote for libertarians. Although they're unlikely to be elected for more than local offices, one of the big two might throw some concessions my way when they loose like the Republicans have with evangelical Christians. REALLLLLLY.

I could try to vote for my own-interests but things don't work out that way. I could vote Republican because I like guns, but would be disappointed when my politicians do anti-gun things like Schwarzenegger signing a bill prohibiting mail-order ammunition sales. I could vote Democrat because I think adults should be able to party with substances other than alcohol, although Democrats have a long history of endorsing decriminalization (like Jimmy Carter) and backing off once elected for political reasons.

aside from the issue of this false binary choice, the salaries need to be better tied to regional cost of living.

One of the reasons why salaries are not the best way to gauge polls like this. A six figure salary in Silicon Valley or Manhattan does not go as far as a six figure salary in most other parts of the country.

It seems that most of the studies are normalized for the entire country.

I'm assuming each of us makes more than $1 a year. Not sure why she carried it to a ten thousandth of a cent though.

Ok. And we can pretend that DOMocrats are too fucking stupid to know which circle to check (FLA 2000) so we'll figure half who claim to be RePUBICons are really Doms. (oops! Did I say Doms? )

Hey what ever works for you.. I TRIED to keep it civil... but I see that is not possible for you guys huh....huh??

I checked the $100k plus circle. With my wife it is more like $200K Combined.
it seems the republicans are getting axious to reveal thier income, probably because thy don't have that billion dollars just yet, they feel like they don't quite fit in?



I am perfctly happy where I am financially, the only real improvement I could make is moving home and being my own operator. Which is happening this year by the looks of things. Then I could operate when I feel it is suitable and have a passive income when I retire.

I'm living the Rhyso dream.

I dispute that class correlates well with income. Michael Vick, for example, is as low class as you can get. So are Governor Sanford and Ex-Governor Blagojevitch

$150,000 in San Mateo County (Silicon Valley) qualifies a family for the county moderate income housing assistance program.

Family size makes a big difference too.

I had more disposable income making 1/2 what I do now but living in a place which was only moderately expensive with no one else sharing my earnings.

+1 and I voted in NON US bc the pole refuses to recognize a person that does not like the GOP or the Demsbc I/we think they both suck.... but hey I'm used to stupid assumptions.

No Mikeee there is a difference. I actually vote for republicans when I can, but I refuse to vote for rePUBIClowns. I really DO believe in Fiscal Responsibility and a smaller government.. remember when the GOP actually believed in that and worked for that instead of paying lip service to it???

I would love to see the GOP regain some sanity and come back to the middle ground as a balance to the nutjobs on the other side of the spectrum
