If you really want to see the disparity in the incomes of this nation, watch this program. It set me back a notch or two.

Untold Wealth:Super Rich

Sunday, June 29th 9:00PM CST on CNBC
Thursday, July 3rd 6:00PM CST on CNBC

In the credits at the end of the program was the statistic that the median (half above and half below) income in the U.S. is $26,000. I am appalled.

edit:In 1985 there were 13 U.S. billionaires. Today there are more than 1000. See how the top .001% live in Untold Wealth: The Rise of the Super Rich.

Here's the place to go to see a preview and more about the program:
