Yahoo! News Message Boards Business News: "Let's see, if 400 people split an extra 45 billion dollars, but the average income in america drops by 4000 dollars, let's do a little math.

300,000,000 people in the US, averaging a loss of 4000 dollar each = 12 trillion dollars in loss to the economy.

400 people splitting 45 billion dollars comes out to 112.5 million a piece, but if spread out over 300 million people that's just 150 bucks a piece. You seem happy enough with Bush's policies, but their net effect is the rich getting richer and everyone else losing. While these guys got over a 100 million richer each, the rest of the country swallowed more than 4000 dollars in loss per person. "
