美国国会里的大人物和一般人的财富差距不断扩大
Napach | 2012年10月8日星期一， 12:40 PM EDT
据“华盛顿邮报”的一份新的报告，在经济衰退期间，本届国会衆议员身家的中位数上涨了5 ％ ，而美国人的平均则下跌了39％ 。
“华盛顿邮报”披露这些国会议员和美国公众之间的贫富差距的统计数据。
“这些人应该是我们的代表”Aaron説， “如果他们生活在另一个世界，不理解美国小民的平常生活，如何能真正代表我们？ ”
华盛顿邮报根据公共记录，分析了2004至2010年的所有国会议员财务信息。得到以下的结果：
- 到2010年，众议员财富的中位数是74.6万美元，参议员为260万美元。
- 共和党人和民主党人在2010年的财富几乎没有什么区别。 6年前，共和党人的身家比民主党人高出44％ 。
- 28％的众议员，或150名议员，赚的外快比他们的国会17.4万美元薪水高。
- 27％的众议员的身家在2004年和2010年之间出现了下滑。
Wealth Gap Between Congress and Average Americans Widens
By Bernice Napach | Daily Ticker – Mon, Oct 8, 2012 12:40 PM EDT
According to a new report in The Washington Post, the median net worth of the current Congress rose 5% during the recession while it fell 39% for the average American. The wealthiest one-third of lawmakers saw their net worth rise 14%.
The Washington Post disclosed these statistics in a recent story on the wealth gap between Congressional members and the American public.
"These are supposed to be our representatives," says The Daily Ticker's Aaron Task. "If they're not living the same lives or understanding the lives that the average American is living, how can they really represent our interests?"
The Post analyzed the financial disclosure forms and public records for all Congressional members from 2004 to 2010. Some key findings of the report are:
By 2010, the median estimated wealth for members of the House of Representatives was $746,000; for senators it was $2.6 million.
There was virtually no difference between the wealth of Republicans and Democrats in 2010. Just six years earlier, the net worth of Republicans was 44% higher than the net worth of Democrats.
28% of Congress, or 150 members, reported earning more income from outside jobs and investments than from their Congressional salary of $174,000.
27% of Congressional members saw a decline in their net worth between 2004 and 2010.

U.S. Median Wealth Only 27th in World
Tuesday, June 25, 2013 Kenneth Thomas Cross-posted at Angry Bear.
As I discussed last week, U.S. median wealth per adult is lower than many other countries. To be exact, it comes in at #27 for 2012, at $38,786 per adult. This is more than 1/4 lower than had been reported by Credit Suisse's Global Wealth Databook for 2011. I contacted one of the authors, Professor James Davies of the University of Western Ontario, to find out the reason for the big change for the United States as well as the even bigger change for Denmark.
Professor Davies was kind enough to lay out the technical issues for me. First, of all, data for mean wealth is more reliable than median wealth. For rich countries like the United States, there is usually household balance sheet information which provides high-quality information on total wealth and, when combined with population data, wealth per adult.
Wealth distribution data is more difficult to estimate accurately, although it is known to be more unequally distributed than income for every country, as the 2012 Databook reports. The reason Denmark had such a sharp increase in its estimated median wealth is that its wealth distribution survey information was becomingly increasingly questionable, so the authors changed to a different estimation method that is not comparable with previous figures.
Finally, Professor Davies said it was unlikely that U.S. wealth per adult dropped by 1/4 in one year, but that the new lower estimate is more accurate. The research team is still working on ways to make distribution estimates more accurate, such that year-to-year changes will be more meaningful. As he wrote to me, "We haven't emphasized year-to-year changes in the shape of the wealth distributions since we are still improving our approach to that and making changes each year."
That leaves the United States still with low levels of median wealth for rich countries. as Les Leopold reported on Alternet. In total, it trails 20 OECD countries and six non-OECD countries.
These low levels of wealth contribute, of course, to the coming retirement crisis as Americans have low levels of savings to supplement Social Security, while almost half of private sector workers have no retirement plan of any type. A solution to the crisis will require a tremendous push politically, but otherwise millions of Americans will be condemned to poverty in their old age.
Here is the list of the top 27 countries by median wealth per adult.
Country Median Wealth
Per Adult
1. Australia $193,653
2. Luxembourg $153,967
3. Japan $141,410
4. Italy $123,710
5. Belgium $119,937
6. United Kingdom $115,245
7. Iceland $ 95,685
8. Singapore $ 95,542 (non-OECD)
9. Switzerland $ 87,137
10. Denmark $ 87,121
11. Austria $ 81,649
12. Canada $ 81,610

15. Finland $ 73,487
16. New Zealand $ 63,000
17. Netherlands $ 61,880
18. Ireland $ 60,953
19. Qatar $ 57,027 (non-OECD)
20. Spain $ 53,292
21. United Arab Emir. $ 47,998 (non-OECD)
22. Taiwan $ 45,451 (non-OECD)
