You earn $100. You get to keep $90. You earn $100,000. You get to keep
$90,000. Which would you pick?


Dumb example. People who choose to ignore an education and/or are lazy
don't have the option to choose a $100K income.

or they could be black, jewish, women, latino, etc.


Uneducated black, Jewish, women, Latino, etc. I worked in the Silicon
Valley as an engineer. Lots of Jewish, Black and Latino coworkers making in
excess of $100k. All had university educations. Lots of black, Jewish,
women, Latino, etc. Working as assemblers and janitors and secretaries that
made a hell of a lot less than the engineers. They also did not have
advanced education. And most of us making a $100k plus were working more
hours than those making $35k or so. Probably working harder also. I worked
and put myself through college, did take advantage of the corporate tuition
reimbursement to help pay for that. Evil corporation, making it
advantageous for me to go to school. My nephew, makes very little, mostly
odd jobs, 45 years old. Thought he was a computer guru, but never went to
JC, or night school to get a certificate, etc. Lazy. Problem with most of
those in dire straights, other than those with major health problems, is
lack of education or lazy.
