Recently scanning the forums I find that I commonly come across one concept that I have trouble rapping my head around and that is the so-called "entitlement" of the 34% of people that pay no FEDERAL income tax.
My understanding in regards to these comments, is that the poorest 34% in our nation are demanding memberships to the local country club, a company vehicle, and a vacation home in the Caribbeans? Someone should seriously look up entitlement, because this notion is absurd. The rich in America, are by far the most entitled people in the world.
Average American salary is ~$20-40,000, so lets say 30,000. Now lets take a low-ball salary for a wealthy American. Lets say $1,000,000, although we know that some people receive this as a Christmas bonus' but I digress. At these figures, the wealthy American earns and truly believes he is worth 33 times the Average person. That my friends is what I personally call entitlement. Any thoughts?
