Bobert:

You say my number was ridiculously low but you have no idea what the correct number is.

My number was the average per capita income. I went in search of a number that you would trust and I found a higher one at Mother Jones who you quoted so I thought you had confidence in their "facts"

Here is your latest statement that you will no doubt abandon:

"I would think that for starters we could use the low income tax credit as the vehicle and cutting back the Bush tax cuts for the upper 5%, taxing off shore accounts by the rich and returning to a saner estate tax will go a long way toward paying for ***ending poverty*** for all people who get up and go to work..."

No please expand on that and tell us how much money that would raise and how it is to be distributed to the poor and how much they would get. Remember "what it comes down to: a redistributuion of wealth"

I don't think you have a clue Bobert, you just blabber on as if blabber will fix the problem.
