@DougHenwood – indeed, would be interesting to see if it’s starting to flip! would be a sign cap really is turning into “neo-feudalism”

@DougHenwood – interesting to know how much value is now extracted directly thru such means rather than indirectly thru wages

Sat 15 Oct 2011 16:30

@brandonmcnamara – thx – yeah now trying to figure out what further % goes to late fees, service charges… guessing total is 17-18%???

Sat 15 Oct 2011 16:28

@DougHenwood – need someone already familiar with the statistics. Not me. Mainly I want to know total % financial service industry extracts

Sat 15 Oct 2011 16:27

@DougHenwood – this is why I never took statistics in grad school. The interest % is clearly 14-16%. How to get parallel figures for rest?

Sat 15 Oct 2011 16:25

@rortybomb @DougHenwood – but you see I don’t just want interest payments but fees, penalties, service charges…

Sat 15 Oct 2011 16:25

@rortybomb @DougHenwood – well, the median hh information is going to much harder to get though it would be preferable

Sat 15 Oct 2011 16:09

@DougHenwood – yeah, it’s 23.5%! Jeez. That’s almost a quarter! How much does the av. household pay in taxes? Not that much more, no?

Sat 15 Oct 2011 16:07

@DougHenwood – so if av household income is $32 thou like it says, that’s actually 7.5% of hh income on top of the 15% paid out in interest

Sat 15 Oct 2011 15:48

@DougHenwood – okay so that’s $514 billion total paid in financial service fees, out of how many total households?

Sat 15 Oct 2011 15:35

@DougHenwood – I want to say it’s approaching 20%, but that might be premature; don’t want to make unwarranted claims

Sat 15 Oct 2011 15:34

@DougHenwood – with credit cards at least sometimes half what they take is “penalties”, no?

Sat 15 Oct 2011 15:34

@DougHenwood – thx!! – says between 14-16%. But that’s just interest, right? What about service charges, fees, penalties, late charges…?

any economist out there have figures on what % of av. American’s income goes to interest, fees, payments, etc etc? Numbers seem unavailable
