I think part of the problem is that there's probably not anyone on this board who has spent any real amount of time around anyone who is TRULY wealthy. The disparity in this country between the bottom 99.8% of the population and the top .2% is MASSIVE.

Mathematically, there is less difference between the plastic surgeon pulling down $1million after taxes, and the person living at the poverty line than there is between that plastic surgeon and some of the folks in the top 0.2% in this country. That 0.2-0.1% hold a MASSIVE MASSIVE MASSIVE amount of wealth. To the point that most people cannot even fathom it. It's literally beyond most people comprehension.

We sit down here in what we think of as "middle" class not even realizing the divide we face.
