So what?
Big deal!

Why are you SO jealous of "the wealthy"? Why do you hate them so much, unless you really want to BE one of them?

I have almost as much college education as a Medical Doctor or Veterinarian - but I make a fraction of the income. So what? It was my CHOICE to enter the vocation of my CHOICE, and I do not regret it in the least. Why should I be spiteful toward, and jealous of, those who make more money than me?

Why should I be upset if a person who pays $150,000 per year in Federal Income Tax gets a $5,000 tax reduction?
