[quote=kewp]Does anyone here seriously think the people making $250k a year are doing ten times the work of those making $25k a year?
And those making 2.5 million are working ten times harder than those making $250k?[/quote]
No kewp, I don’t work harder than I did when I was making $3.35/hr in the 80’s. But what I had to do to get here in terms of education and training is easily 100X or more what I needed to do to qualify for the minimum wage jobs. I definitely feel I earned my rightful place in society, and it irks me when people say it’s my responsibility to provide for everyone else who worked less hard to get where they are than I have.
Don’t missunderstand, I realize the necessity of graduated taxes, just don’t expect my to be joyful about it. And $250,000 a year in Southern California is a comfortable living, but is by no means rich.
