(116,005 posts)is you issue they can afford a vanity plate? Or is it that someone DARED to pay for a vanity plate saying their jeep is a "toy"?
A dentist you served on a board with made "regular vacation trips" to Hawaii and the Caribbean, proving doctors make too much money?
A brother in law is an "eye doctor" with 3 loans and student loans proving he is paid too much?
How are any of these proof of over payment of doctors?
It might behoove you to talk to some PCPs, some Family Practice doctors, find out what they make after paying all the costs associated with being a doctor. I have and was very surprised. Yes, specialists can and do make a shitload of money, but those regular doctors that provide the majority of care? Nope.
The income you posted in another post, with math major and 2 college degrees, looks rather like mine has over the last 20 years. But to use my,or your, underpaid employment, my unemployment and resulting difficulty finding a job that pays decent to say a person getting a decent salary is paid too much is wrong. Those of us in the underemployed, unemployed, low paid employment need to have better pay and full time jobs when we want them. A different issue than "doctors get paid too much, I don't know what they get paid but they can afford to buy funny vanity plates, and go further into debt with huge loans".
