[quote=Anonymous]people who work hard -- however they define that -- for their money are less likely to feel "rich".  we have great HHI but i feel a lot less rich than the family i know who has one kid in FT daycare, one with a sitter so the wife can go to a job three times a week that doesn't even cover the costs of childcare.  that seems indulgent and extravangent to me, so if feels like they are richer, though they probably have lower HHI than we do.

the bottom line for me is that we all make choices, whether you think you (or the people who are sticking up for) do or not.  yes, i chose to go into a lucrative career and i choose to stay in a job that i hate most days because the money is better than what I would get anywhere else.  others choose to have a parent at home and live on one income, or choose less lucrative jobs/careers or don't work as hard to make more money or whatever.  while it isn't fair that important jobs pay less (teachers, fire fighters, etc), and i would and do support them making more, you knew that when you went into it.  choices -- we all have to live with them.
