193. "The rich?" Why are you so combative about this subject?
You say that someone making 100K lives like a Monarch, you belittle anything they say to refute that idea. You are "amused" by the conversation.

The point here is that $100,000 doesn't represent comfort and wealth the way it used to. Not that $100,000 isn't a good income. It is. Much the same as $40,000 used to be a good income.

Arguing about whether that salary makes one rich only divides us in our purpose to better the situation for everyone. Republicans sure aren't going to help there. It's up to us. And we can't get there by tearing eachother apart.
