An interesting thing about the "disappearing middle class" we hear about, most of those who depart it move to the upper class.
I will bet you every cent I earn for the rest of my life that this isn't true.

How the American middle class has changed in the past five decades | Pew Research Center



So, 4% went to the lower income class, and 7% went to the upper income class, so the middle class shrunk.

7% > 4%.

The math may be hard for some here.

I'm not talking about the "extremes".

Ignoring your own source is an interesting tactic.

Being unable to read a simple chart is as well.

The most interesting part of the Pew report, perhaps, was its finding that the middle class is shrinking not only because more people are poor but also because more people are rich. The percentage of lowest-income earners—those earning less than two-thirds of the median income—had grown four percentage points, from 25% to 29% of the population.1 Over that same period, though, the percentage of Americans in the highest-income households also rose by seven points since 1971, taking that group from 14% to 21% of the population.

Sigh.

4% of a larger population > 7% of a smaller population (not in every case, but apparently in this one)

Take it up with the writer, not me.

The closest rush defense I could find to 93 Arizona was 97 FSU.....they were allowing 40 ypg rushing on about 38 carries.....1.1 ypc. 
But then they played Florida and Fred Taylor ran for 150 yds and 4 TDs, altering FSU's seasonal ypc allowed up to 1.5.

The quote you cited is not in the Pew Report anywhere.  It's in the one I first referenced which is just a summary thereof.  And it's clearly wrong.

7% > 4%, the percentages are based on  the same total overall figure, all of us.  

And I don't want or need you "salary".

The math is pretty simple, and that quote is attributed to Disraeli.
