NUpolo8 Posted January 22, 2015 Share Posted January 22, 2015 No it's pretty meaningless. I could rob five banks and launder the money into my business, I'd increase revenue in my business in a budget neutral manner, but it's still not a good thing.. . . uh . . . yeah. I don't think that's comparable. Perhaps a bad analogy, but the fact remains something is being taken from a group and given to another (in theory). And it wouldn't be the super duper, eeeeeviil rich. I don't think there's a $100,000 household anywhere that would qualify themselves as that. Link to comment

And I'll debate that that household is a far cry from middle class in say, the west coast, or east coast, or Chicago...... It's also pretty interesting that the article linked says college isn't a free ticket to the hallowed "middle class". Link to comment

In fact, I'd argue that that is a strange way to think about taxation. And I'll debate that that household is a far cry from middle class in say, the west coast, or east coast, or Chicago......No doubt.

As you said, "rich" is a relative term. And don't call my lotto system "luck". This is an algorithm and IT WILL WORK. 1 Link to comment

It's a real Bay Area find, what with a 2000 square foot backyard. Link to comment

It's also the only house in the city with a finished basement. Or a basement. Earthquake codes be damned. Link to comment
