even if this is true, that completely goes against the 40% make above 80k

Here are the numbers:

nnual household income in U.S. dollarsPercentage of U.S. households
75,000 to 99,999 12.5%
100,000 to 149,999 14.9%
150,000 to 199,999 7%
200,000 and over 8.5%

Total is 42.9% of americans but...that is 75k and up not 80k (close enough to 40k for 80 and up).

As far as the median, only 15% is 150k or over, but 40% are making $15 or less an hour (so 40k or less a year)

That radically affects the median, almost 3x as many people make less than 40k than make 150k or more.
