[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DC is not the only expensive spot in the country, you idiots.[/quote]

No kidding.  DC is one of the most prosperous and vibrant metro areas in the country.  And it's not as if $300,000 a year goes further in Manhattan or Westchester County, Chicago's North Shore, the Bay Area, L.A.'s West Side, etc.

So what if it "goes further" in Omaha, Dallas or Phoenix?  These cities lack DC's opportunities and cultural amenities and DC's high price is largely because affluent people disproportionately live in it.  And either way, in no region in the country is $300,000 not a very high income.[/quote]
Guess what. You are not entitled to living well in an area where "affluent people disproportionately live." These cultural amenities you are talking about are luxuries that you can afford, because you are way above this country's "middle."

I realize that "middle class" is a concept made up by polititians in order to appeal to broader bases. Heck, everybody wants to be middle class! The poors get to say they made it, and the rich get to say they deserve lower taxes. Win-win for the polititians, lose-lose for the sheeple.[/quote]
