[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My husband is a scientist in cancer research. He has an MD, a PhD and various other degrees. Lived very frugally and worked long hours all these years. Now he is nearing 50 and has just broken through the $100K ceiling. Previous posters who sneer at the "lazy opportunistic poor" simply disgust me. [/quote] I never sneered at anyone making almost 100k. I barely make 100k after 20 years in my field. Re-read it. I started out making less than $20k and worked my butt off. Are you and your husband living on welfare? No. So why would you think it was directed towards you? There's absolutely nothing wrong with making $250k or $40k/year. Either way, its working, and I think all our children deserve good schools and low crime. Its that those who haven't even tried to work somehow think I should *poof* pay more in taxes because (gasp!) I work. [/quote]
