[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It all depends to whom one compares oneself.

Frankly, and no offense, but I do not consider the assorted drunkards, drug addicts, bar-tenders, grease-monkeys, shop-walkers, cheroot-vendors, mail-men, iron-mongers, pit-masters, squirrel-eaters, security-guards, street-walkers, phone-wankers, IT helpdeskers, low-ranking bureaucrats, time-servers, ex-cons, and margerine saleswomen who make up the bulk of this country and this city's population to be my peers, so their income is quite irrelevant.

I instead attempt to place myself amongst persons of more distinction, to whit: commercial lawyers, international diplomats, independently-wealthy heads of Third World NGOs, magazine editors (though only the classier ones - no cheap titillation), Internet Pioneers, SES bureaucrats, Hedge Fund Managers (and their Lady wives), Modern Dancers, Industrialists, Underwear Titans, and assorted Money Goblins.

Judged against this, more illustrious, crowd, I certainly cannot consider myself in the top 5 percent.

But one day, I hope to be.

Aspirational? Yes, but it was aspirationalism that seized this country out of the embrace of the native Americans, and by God I will never apologize for it.  [/quote]

Money Goblins FTW.[/quote]
