[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you don't feel rich on 300k a year you need to leave your neighborhood to visit some other places and get some perspective.[/quote]

That's exactly what I tell every American who b*tches about "income inequality."

Spend a year abroad and see how 6 billion people live.[/quote]

Typical clueless, neoliberal comment. [b]What do you know about how people live abroad? I'm an immigrant and I travel back to the homeland every year (and vacation at other places). Friends and family back home may have lower income if you convert to dollars but a MUCH higher standard of living. Our family friend from there came to visit us this year and he was shocked at how pitiful our lifestyle is here compared to back home[/b]. So newsflash, not everyone abroad is living in dirt huts and starving. People across the world would laugh at you idiots calling yourselves rich while shouldering massive student loans, huge mortgage for a shitshack, and hardly able to afford Chipotle. I agree with OP- we should quit the infighting and expect better for ourselves and from our leaders.[/quote]

Agreed.

My in-laws live like royalty at home in West Africa - nannies for their kids, cooks, drivers, live-in maids. Its not like what you think, particularly if you actually venture to a city or two (hint: most countries have them). You will quickly learn that borders don't matter when you're talking about wealth.[/quote]
