Maybe because it is not the Governments money. Why should I work harder and earn less that is ridiculous what is my incentive for doing so if it is just going to be squandered on free birth control and the like. Besides as you know they are talking about raising it on 200K this is not rich
just ask Pelosi or John Kerry who are rolling in the dough
they would call someone who earns that a pauper I suppose. I will propose the question to you: Why are they starting at 200K as you yourself admit that is not rich?
It is because they don't want others to have what they have. We will be in the rice fields why they are eating arugula.
$200K ? $250K ?
Trouble is, that level of income means entirely different things depending upon where you live - cost of living.
In some parts of the country it’d be spectacular, in others much less so.
