That's half of United States rather than half of America.

Would be much more than half then.

The media isn't asking these questions because they don't know the answers, they're asking because people are a lot more likely to think there isn't a clear answer when they see people asking the question over and over. If there's a clear answer, then people who want to believe that the younger generation is just lazy will have to come to terms with the fact that they're wrong, or worse yet, leave for another news channel that lets them keep denying it! No, they're going to keep on asking questions and letting the viewer answer them on their own, filling in the blanks to validate whatever biases they have.

I couldn't get link to work but I think you are looking at house hold. I looked up individual and it was 35.

I think you’re looking at stats for per capita income. I can’t find official data for individual income.

Yeah but I'd also start start asking why you're still voting Trump and believing he can be anyhow beneficial to your cause, or is that the other half making >35k a year who evidently then must have subconsciously self-organized like a swarm to unanimously vote for him?

But we need those billionaires, they taught me that tricke down pissanomics work and they are doing me a favour by paying me less!

35k I assume of dollars per year? Which is roughly 2900000 roubles month. I have another question: why the fuck everything is so expensive? 2.9M ₽/month is a lot. You can buy flat every few months in Moscow. Something is wrong with your economy and policies if THAT considered small.

It's the policies. Not enough stopping prices rising and not enough keeping the money from continuously flowing up. Taxes on large companies and the extremely rich keep going down. Politicians distract voters by making them angry about other issues so they don't realize they are voting against bringing the money back down and building the middle class back up and supporting the lower class.

I will only ask you why you don't do something about it instead of just begging corporations.
