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.



All true no doubt, but that doesn't include all people making
$35K/year.

35k is not dire straights.

And you are clueless to the real world.



Really. Please show us where in the US that $35K/year for a family with four
kids is doing well... go for it.
