[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Everyone getting focussed on the taxing the rich to death bit...which I disagree with, but no one addressing the out of touch piece.  DCUM folks are willfully out of touch about how the rest of society lives.  And they fail to recognize that hard work in and of itself does not translate into making loads of money.  Nor does it mean that you are smarter than people making less money than you do.  Lots of brilliant physicians, scientists, professors making a whole lot less than Big Law and overpaid government contractors.  Just acknowledge **that**.  You picked a profitable career but it does not make you more hard working/smarter than others.  I think some people just need to justify the obscene amount of money they make.  [/quote]

this is good

My wife, who is arguably much smarter and works harder than me, makes 4x less than I do and will be capped whereas my income could climb to 10x  + hers. She could make more if she wanted but she loves what she does. She isn't dumb for not wanting to make 1m a year.

In no way shape or form do I work harder, I simply chose a career that is very lucrative. I also take a lot of financial risk by buying into my company and reinvesting hundreds of thousands a year back into my business. I am also lucky.

I fully understand this and wish more people did. [/quote]
