The comments are crazy too.
"The Laffer Curve is real, it is just human ego preventing recognition of the fact that making $200k per year is not worth it these days. You are better off earning $75k and becoming a taker. You will have less stress, more free time, and the government will ensure your safety should you fall."
"Hmmm. Maybe I should stop spending close to $300 dollars to subscribe to the Wall Street Journal."
"Now I want to see a story about how a couple makes it with two kids that makes a combined income of $65,000 to $70,000, spending $13,000 a year on a mortgage or rent, $5,200 hundred a year on food, insurance, utilities, property taxes, municipal fees, school supplies, clothes, health insurance and so on. I suspect that most Americans in this income bracket can save very little, which is a great worry."
"Those folks are contributing between $9,945 and $10,710 a year toward their future pension and medical via their employee and employer payroll taxes. In addition they are reducing their future housing costs via their $13,000 in mortgage payments. They wouldn't really need to save very much more...but they would need to save something...to maintain the same standard of living in their senior years."
