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.
