7% if you're on minimum wage feels like an awful lot.
7% of millions is small change. It's money you cannot possibly spend OR EARN rationally.
Especially when you have the money to manage your money.

It seems I know very little about America.
And almost nothing about American politics.
Because I find that appalling.
Please note.

Your numbers are on target but your arithmetic is wrong. 21/3=7. True. But 7 is not 7 percent. If you turn it around... 3/21, you get .14 ish. 14 PERCENT.

Carry on.
