Reply #40: A person with a family of 4

[drpepper67]

Making $20k a year probably mows his own grass, changes his own oil, washes his own clothes, doesn't own a pool, walks his own dog, doesn't have a nanny, ect.

Someone with a family of 4 who makes $250K a year probably doesn't mow his own grass. He pays someone to do it.

Someone with a family of 4 who makes $250K a year probably doesn't change the oil in his car, he pays someone to do it.

Someone with a family of 4 who makes $250K a year probably doesn't wash his own clothes, he sends them out to a laundry service.

Someone with a family of 4 who makes $250K a year probably doesn't clean his own pool. He pays someone else to clean it.

You can see where this is going.

Someone making $20K a year probably doesn't add to someone else's employment.

Someone making $250K a year probably helps keep many people employed.

You can argue with the numbers if you'd like, the idea's the same.
