    someone on $100k is much closer to someone on $30k than they are to a billionaire

    Technically true, but somebody making $100k and somebody making $30k still live in completely different worlds.

    From a $30k POV, a person making $100k a year and whining about it is not an ally and should STFU.

      And that’s exactly why so many people don’t vote for tax the rich. Because some people make statements like this and 100k guy think he will be taxed even higher and then he’d go and vote for the guy who doesn’t wanna tax the Rich. It’s really imperative that everyone under a million or so bands together and any one above a million or so should donate the wealth away to be safe.

      Yes, 100k is much much better living then 30k, but 100k guy is not exploiting the masses, 100k guy is also being exploited. In the class war 100k is in the same bucket as 30k.

      Thats honestly crazy If youre making 100k and can still barely make ends meet that should be a sign for someone making 30k that shits broken. The difference is billionaires hoarding money. They should be the ones everyone is teaming up against. Someone making 100k in a high COL area is in a lot of ways really similar to someone making 30k in a low COL area.
