When it becomes Hillary v McCain

Anyone who makes more than twice what I make is rich. The exact dollar amount will change as my income changes.

fair enough. as long as i get to use the same measurement.


seriously though, that is the problem with picking dollar amounts and attaching tags to them. it is completely subjective. When I was in the military the idea of making what a colonel does made my mouth water. Now I'd be scrambling trying to figure out how to stay afloat. Is someone earning a colonel's wage rich or poor? It all depends on where you are standing.

Well, I know from Mr. Carlin that anyone who drives slower than me is an idiot, but anyone who goes faster than me is a maniac.

No, what they have is more disposable income than you and more likely than not, more bills, a higher standard of living, and the ability to have more choices in life. But yea, they are not rich.

Reminds me of a tree full of monkeys

Everyone at the top looks down at nothing but smiling faces of other monkeys.

Everyone at the bottom looks up and sees nothing but a bunch of assholes.

Sucks to be on the bottom. You get nothing but shit from the top. But hey, no one says you can't sacrifice, bite, scrape, and jockey for a better position in the tree. The only thing holding you back is yourself.

Rock on monkey.
