Just want to point out that $250k a year makes you loaded. The reason people don’t “feel rich” is that the bonkers income disparity that has grown up since the 70s means they are comparing themselves to people who have similar jobs to them (lawyers, bankers etc.) but make 10x as much.

What is funny about this is that it means a lot of naturally right-wing people are actually feeling the effect of being on the wrong end of class warfare.
