Egg yolks are indeed full of cholesterol. Like most cholesterol-rich foods, they are jam-packed full of important nutrients, especially the fat-soluble vitamins and essential fatty acids. In fact, the slew of nutrients in an egg yolk is so comprehensive that a few a day would offer better insurance than a multi-vitamin.
In the United States, approximately 7% of households are millionaires.[7] A 2010 study argues that millionaires (those in the top 1% of earners) pay approximately 40% of all taxes in the United States.[4] According to the book The Millionaire Next Door, only 20% of millionaires inherited their wealth.
Census Bureau stats show that the percentage of pay collected by the middle 60% of wage earners dipped to 46% in 2005 from 52% in both 1965 and 1975. That figure doesnât include income from investments, which would make the gap even larger. But the overall pie is much larger too.A near quadrupling of the Gross Domestic Product since 1967 means that todayâs Americans share $12.5 trillion in wealth, or $41,579 per capita, compared to the $3.8 trillion, or $18,951 per capita, enjoyed by 200 million people back then.Of course, the super-rich have done even better.s the U.S. population crossed the 300 million mark sometime around 7:46 a.m. Tuesday (according to the U.S. Census Bureau), the typical family is doing a whole lot better than their grandparents were in 1967, the year the population first surpassed 200 million.
