Did You Know, Half of Americans Today Earn Less Than the Median Income?

What should we do about this?

I hope your comment is an intellectual joke. Because statistically, whatever you do, however income is redistributed, 50% of Americans will always be below the median income - that's what median effectively means. The half way mark. The only point at which you might have some difficulty is when everyone earns precisely the same amount of money, to the last cent.

Not sure what the purpose of a 'median' income is.
It's like when you hear politicians talk of 'average earnings'.

I think they're political terms used when it favours a side to quote them.

Not only that, half of everyone is 50% of the population. It's not fair.
There already is one: the I.W.W. (Industrial Workers of the World). It is in many countries around the world including USA, Canada and Australia.
Its the same in Canada. Revolution is the usual result when this problem is allowed to progress.
