I fit into these numbers as a voter, average annual income, age. I haven't contributed a dime to a Presidential Candidate though.

I also know a host of others that fall into the same category as me. Voters, income, age, and no contributions.

I don't do Math after midnight.

Not really much math involved there, I did most of it for you.

I'm just saying more or less, that's a lot of money!
