Yellow is fake gold; it's veneer and show rather than substance. We see that with the yellow cocktail music at Gatsby's party (1) and the two girls in twin yellow dresses who aren't as alluring as the golden Jordan (3.15).
I think a moderate income is income above the median for famlies in your county, but not more than 25% of the median income. The IRS usually has this info for free, but I see they are now charging $10 for this on their web site for more recent years. http://www.irs.gov/taxstats/indtaxst...=96947,00.html.
Ordinary Income. Most of the income that people receive is considered ordinary income by the IRS. Some of these include wages, bonuses, business income, interest and gambling winnings. Dividends are also considered ordinary income in most situations. Capital gains -- earnings on the sale of an asset -- are not treated as ordinary income unless the asset was held for less than a year.
