<p>Here’s the issue - within that 4 percent there is a VAST range of income distribution. Actually, far vaster than the range of income distribution in the entier 96 percent below. Do you not see a difference between an income of $200k and and income of $500k or a $2million ? </p>
<p>We differentiate between incomes of $50k and $45k, for goodness sake, when determing taxes and financial aid. Why no differentiation between $200k and $5million ? I think partly because the current model benefits those at the extreme ends very, very nicely - they are getting a real bargain from these colleges.</p>
<p>And one more point regarding that lucky dog top 4 percent of income - have you ever noted what percentage of total taxes are paid by that group? Vast, indeed.</p>
