[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Somewhat recently making 7 figures, having started from humble roots.  I am deeply grateful to feel secure financially, assuming I can keep my employment trajectory.

What's crazy is that it seems like you need to make this much around here to feel like you are set with the american dream:

Owning a single family home (and all the upkeep that entails)
Sending kids to college
Saving enough so we can have a (hopefully) financially secure retirement one day
Family vacations
Two cars
Making sure parents are taken care of

I think over time, we should be able to do all of the above relatively comfortably....but shouldn't most of the population?  I feel we can only do all of this stuff because of a very high income.  What does that say about the expected standard of living in America??

Let me guess...you want us to say

The U.S is on the decline. 
Capitalism is bad
Neither party does good for the country
The U.S. is going down a path of destruction that can't be stopped
Americans need to understand their country is terrible.
Why work? You get nothing out of it anyway and it take away from really enjoying life. Just give it all up

We know (your instructions for us)--you astroturfers have been on a rampage the past 2 or 3 week everywhere on the internet with this message
