(4,187 posts)You're confusing doctors with hedge-fund managers and the like.
This is all part of the Republican Party's plan to get Democrats to fight each other instead of focusing on the real problem. Doctors, professors, psychologists, teachers -- those some love to hate -- are not the privileged class. An average physicain makes under $200,000 a year. The top 25 hedge-fund managers earned an average of $250,000 an hour in 2016. You read that correctly. The top 25 hedge fund managers, on average, made more in one hour than an average physician makes in one year. That's the privileged class, and you can be sure you will never meet one of them on a United flight.
