This poll says “households” making $250,000. Is that the same as a business that hires people? It may be misleading.
I made the decision to be middle class a long time ago. I saw what I had to do to become rich, and I wasn’t willing to make that kind of sacrifice. The Return On Investment just wasn’t good enough for me. So, I don’t begrudge wealthy people. The only way a wealthy person hurts me is if he just sits on his money. And even that doesn’t really hurt me. He’s just not helping create jobs. Why should I care if a rich guy has twelve houses and four yachts? Somebody had to build those houses. Somebody has to crew those yachts.
