[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Actually, it really is. But you will never get that. You don't get new standards, nor do I. No matter how you slice it, those who are making not only 250K but much, much less and whining about it are clueless and out of touch.

[b]Why is it ridiculous to bust your rump in med or law school for years and then whine about how you don't feel rich? What truly middle class professions spend 3 or more years in school beyond high school?  It's an effort vs. reward thing.  It's not that waitresses and school teachers don't work hard, it's that they are less educated.  If I made $70K a year, I'd want 2 or 3 months off each year too, but since I make $200K, I think it's reasonable for me to have to work 11.5 months a year[/b].[/quote]

I have no idea what point you are trying to make here or how it's relevant to the subject. If you got a pricey degree, and secured a job making 250K, you are doing well. No one is saying you don't deserve to make 250K or a lot more. I'm a big believer that CEOs who lead companies and are responsible for the employment of hundreds or thousands should be compensated much, much more than people like me who work hard, but could more easily be replaced. What people are bothered by is when people make these large incomes and say they are down and out or scraping by. [/quote]
