[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There are plenty of middle and UMC MAGAs that make $80k plus. A police officer or a firefighter could clear that easily with all their paid OT. Experienced teachers especially in the Rust Belt or NE states that tend to pay well, and by experienced I mean 20+ years which you can get by your mid 40s if you start teaching right out of college. School district admins, nurses, people who own a few properties/small time landlords, even full time retail or restaurant management! It’s a mistake to assume all Trump supporters live in a trailer in a holler and get disability and Medicaid. [/quote]
So why are they so jealous of others making $80k salaries?[/quote]

One, I think a lot of them are in blue collar or more physically taxing fields and they generally resent people with office type jobs. Two, people in general have very bad perceptions about how much money others are making (and everything else). I saw a recent study that I wish I could find where the people surveyed thought that 20% of people in the US were making over $500k a year and that 10% of the US population was transgender or something crazy like that. The people surveyed thought 40% of the US population was black and 25% were immigrants born in another country. Just super, super crazy numbers that are so far from reality. Some people are going to be mad that government cube farm guy is making $80k a year, but others are going to say … I’m also making $80k a year.

The ones that are going to stick out more and take up all the air in the room are the ones making $100k a year with a NW of $15 million or what have you. Of course, everyone here knows that’s a low earning spouse with a high earning spouse in a big time job, or someone who left a big time job for a government role. But it’s going to look super suspicious to someone who doesn’t know any federal employees. [/quote]

The thing is that our low paying fed jobs are either gone (there's a dearth of secretaries and admin assistants) or they are contracted out (janitors, building security, mailroom). So the numbers are skewing higher when the rest of us are scientists, engineers, and lawyers.[/quote]
