Default Things George Carlin got right...

Think about how stupid the average person is, and then realize that half of all people are stupider than that.

Just saying...

In 1994, my accountant told me the exact same thing. That the rich pit the middle class against the poor while they take the money. He was right then and it is even more true today.

Pitting the middleclass against the poor is over, it's pit race against race today. The rich and powerful want us fighting one another to deflect from what they are doing. Such as, why pay 9 million dollars to repair a building.

Not to be pedantic, but you appear to be mistaking the median for the mean.
