If I was asked to imagine a perfect deity, I would never invent one that suffers from a multiple personality disorder. Christians get points for originality there.

Makes a lot of sense except they need a section for different incomes in there.
You think that a photograph is indisputable evidence?  Would you like me to show you a photograph of Barack Obama having sex with a gorilla?

Agreed, but income is harder to get good accuracy.

For instance, people who go to church every week are proud of it.
People who go to school are proud of it (and it can be checked rather easily).
People who vote for someone are proud of it.

Income however is a more sensitive question and more prone to lying/exaggeration or any form of deceit.
I am rather confident that it was not conducted because it would be an intrusion on privacy to conduct a background examination or that the statistics were too prone to participant bias to accept the results.

And what if they don't go to church every week but lie and say they do just to make themselves look better?

Gallup has an incredibly strong reputation of timely accurate information.

And what if they don't go to church every week but lie and say they do just to make themselves look better?
The people who care enough to lie are more religious anyways.

I'll sig that if Sokarul comes back. It's just that this sig may be some sort of repellent, because he left just after I started using it, and hasn't come back yet.

McCain's wife bought most of those, and Obama is considered an elitist because of his comments disparaging smaller towns and rural communities.

So he didn't work for any of that either? That makes him even less like a normal person. Sorry being a boytoy hardly lets you relate to the working class.

Wealth does.
I did a quick search in their incomes but plenty of income policies results took priority. Since, the election is no longer entirely relevant to me, I don't plan to spend as much energy on research so I settled for this quote:

"6% of Obama's income is a much larger percentage of his net worth compared to 27 % of McCain's income"
