THREAD, THIS IS GOOD: No, Rich, they just know what it took to EARN that money. Perhaps one day you too will be GS-13 or higher, and that wisdom will be imparted to you.
There's this strange belief among the beltway democrats that anyone that EARNS more than $200,000 per year was actually secretly born a Rockefeller or Vanderbilt. Truth is, most of those people are self-made, and get penalized for being successful. You hurt them, you hurt the people that they take along for the ride (see "the people they employ").
I am very well to do, but when Uncle Sam hits me, the less I put back into my business = the fewer products I sell, and the fewer people I employ. My lifestyle changes not (since my excess capital is put into investment, and not into luxurious living). Rich, welcome to REALITY.
