The reason I live a good live is I paid myself first. I saved and
invested, even back when my tax rate was over 20%. The typical middle
class tax rate is far less than 10% now if I take your number of
100,000,000 people to define them.

and 50% of americans have less than 10,000 in their 401k's.

do you hate them all?

Of those 50%, how many lease a nice car, live in a home that is a maximum
mortgage or rent a nice place? I made good money, drove a Chevrolet, Ford,
VW, and Toyota and Chevy LUV pickup over the years. As Greg states. Pay
yourself first. We took resonable vacations with the kids and even after
they left home.

it's funny...you begrudge hard working middle class americans the
fruit of their labor

americans are the hardest working people in the western world. we work
200 hours more than europeans and japanese.

we have marginal health insurance. no vacations. no retirement.

and the right wing says we're not working hard enough to make sure
