You can argue that the majority of Americans *should* be able to afford these things, but the reality is that a tiny fraction in either DC or Peoria can.  That's why they are angry and looking for change.  Burying your head in the sand and complaining that DC is expensive doesn't change this.[/quote]
+ 1. The fact that people earning these upper-level incomes  - with the two cars, a city house, vacations, investing for college and retirement, and so on - don't understand that they are living high above everyone else IS having their heads in the sand. That's what's getting people angry. They don't appreciate how good they have it.[/quote]
I very much appreciate, primarily because I came from a country where a $1K monthly income was considered a huge success. However, I can see how it might be difficult to appreciate if a person spent their whole life among the families who made no less than $200K. In their circle, a $300K income is normal and average.
