Rothwell speaking for himself:

I've got a new article out in @ForeignPolicy on my book #Republic_of_Equals.

The populists and anti-populists are both wrong about income inequality. https://t.co/FZllhDLPEg

I joke, but yes, found it shocking as well - that's all? That's pretty poor. Any large bill that comes along can wipe almost anyone out.

In reply to So roughly my Dagblog salary,

you joke but after I thought on it a while, that over $85,000 figure for top 10% was kind of shocking to me. Along the lines of: how is everyone in this country paying what rents have become? Look at this, it's like this is happening everywhere:

Income segregated housing at the University. Rich students live close to campus. Others live .... wherever.
Are state and local government officials doing anything to help?https://t.co/HrnT7cGcfR

Excerpt:

To give you a gauge for price, we talked with one student who lives in a studio for $1,250 a month at the Hub. Another student lives in a two-bedroom apartment for about $2,600 a month.

We also found one-bedroom prices at Knoll for $1,380 a month, $1,524 a month at Stadium Flats, and $1,290 at the Marshall.

“When you build at the high-end of these markets, it tends to increase the rents on the low-end of the market in these surrounding areas,” Goetz said.

the kind of money that they are talking about here might come as a surprise to some:

ROTHWELL: People in the top 10 percent, but not the top one percent, include a wide range of professionals and managers. The bottom threshold for all income to be in the top ten percent is $120,000 in national income—this includes things like benefits and esoteric income sources like owner occupied rent. For the type of income people report to the Census Bureau, you need $85,000 to be in the top ten percent. To be in the top one percent, you need $488,000 in national income or about $330,000 in income as reported to the Census Bureau.
