...just below the Trust Universe Comparison Service (TUCS) median--a measure of 68 large institutional funds with assets between $1 and $10 billion--which was up 16.9 percent...

In fact, a new Louis Harris & Associates survey of 404 corporate executives, 81% of whom have modified their offices since the law went into effect, found that the median cost of making the workplace more accessible is just $223 per disabled person.

In 1991 a family of four earning half the median U.S. income--$43,000 that year-paid 4.8% of its meager earnings in income tax, but 12.4% to Social Security. Those figures, it is true, include the half share of Social Security taxes supposedly paid by employers--and so they should, say economists; in reality the worker pays the whole...
