  • Where can I find reliable stats on the total income of the USA?

    All I can seem to find are averages and groups, or info that's clearly wrong (like $12 billion, which is Way too low). I am looking for the total amount of personal income made by all Americans in one year, say 2011. I thought the IRS website would have this, but I can only find divided information there, not the total. I'm sure their database must include the total gross income that was reported somewhere, but I can't seem to find it. Of course, this would be missing the info from people whose income was so low they didn't have to file, but there's probably no way to find that out. A separate total of profits made by businesses would be cool too, but not mixed together like GDP. I came across an estimate of $9 trillion, which sounds reasonable for total personal income, but can't find any authoritative sites to confirm it. Does anyone know of a legit site that has this info?

    PS- please don't bother directing me to a Fox "news" site or anything like that. I'm looking for facts, not fantasy.

  • Where can I find a free online encryption program that meets specific parameters?

    These are the parameters: I have already invented a specific non-random substitution cipher and would like to enter my cipher into the program to have it generate the encrypted version of a list of words. It's not for computer use or secrecy- I want to use it for creating fictional place and character names, so the encrypted words must be pronounceable. My cipher does this, but it's tedious to translate each word individually on paper (as I'm trying dozens of words to see which best fits a particular place, etc.), so I'm looking for a program that will USE my cipher and yield an encrypted version of any words I give it. I have found many sites and programs that explain encryption or will do almost what I want, but they use a random substitution or reversal instead of letting me input each letter or phoneme (ch, th, etc.) to use in the cipher. Does anyone know if such a program exists?
