I have nothing against people who earn good money! In fact, I have some family members in that category. I just get tired of the old "if you worked harder you'd have more money" when I have worked hard my whole life (started working on a produce farm every summer at 13, and most of my adult life have carried a second job.) Can't you understand how hurtful that might feel?

working harder makes you more money. working smarter or better makes a lot more money.
people that make the kind of money on that chart are making more for other people, too. big earners not only spend more, and therefore create more wealth for those below them, but very often employ people, and directly effect their wealth. don't knock the filthy rich. we need them more than they need us.
