I mean yeah, it’s the Wall Street Journal. They’re not trying to represent the average American; this isn’t attempting to gaslight people about the poor. This is for people who don’t care to know how much the poor make. The bourgeois take on reality is for sale, hiding in plain sight, right next to the Times.
I’m looking at those numbers, and I’m saluting those kings and queens, I’m crying, but out of happiness. Those pimps are so much better than me, I’m ennobled by them stepping on me

Not sure how they calculated this. They probably made it up but it would be funnier if this was the average and it was severely inflated by the uber wealthy.

they looked at whatever technocratic micro-adjustments to the tax laws the Obama government was legislating and them constructed some extreme edge cases where people would pay much (well… a little) more taxes. They did not try to depict average Americans, they tried to scare their rich patrons.
What do they even fucking do to make that much money???
