Maggie's Farm

We are a commune of inquiring, skeptical, politically centrist, capitalist, anglophile, traditionalist New England Yankee humans, humanoids, and animals with many interests beyond and above politics. Each of us has had a high-school education (or GED), but all had ADD so didn't pay attention very well, especially the dogs. Each one of us does "try my best to be just like I am," and none of us enjoys working for others, including for Maggie, from whom we receive neither a nickel nor a dime. Freedom from nags, cranks, government, do-gooders, control-freaks and idiots is all that we ask for.

America's top 50 average job incomes

By averaging them out, there is much distortion. For example, the relatively small but conspicuous numbers of Wall Street types with 1-50 million incomes get lost in the averages. (average always eliminate bi-modal and tri-modal distributions). Still, these numbers probably hold in most of the country.

Quick, cap those high-earners! It ain't fair!

Cap them, and they will quit working. That's what the Left doesn't understand. These are the smart, talented, adept goosies that lay the golden eggs for everyone else.

The left intuitively fears these exemplars, they confuse the masses, who are best kept dumb, hungry, and malleable. When the lefty dragon really gets going, it will try to eliminate the whole class. Pol Pot killed everybody with eyeglasses, on the chance that they might be readers.

High net worth people according to the left have stolen those resources from the poor. To the left "wealth causes poverty" is a mantra.

But lets see. I'm a gazillionaire. I'll do these things.
Own several very large expensive homes, all built by tradesman who freely sought their vocation. I'll fill the house with furniture..ditto furniture makers..you get the picture.
2. Cars, five or six minimum, all expensive..I don't build them I pay people to build them and in turn they buy houses etc.

On magggies Farm I need go no futher, in fact I went too far.We all understand. Let me add a link to a great paper written by Charles Murray (The Bell Curve) which you'll no doubt have to read under the sheets with a flashlight.. but it's a damn, I mean a gosh darn good piece of work.

it's a three part'r so three links.

"Petroleum Engineers -- $97,350"

I don't mean to sound arrogant, but my father ist a
petroleum engineer and makes a gross income of
about $260,000 a year....
