For those of you in a position to hire people, consider what the Schalas, Lyddeas and Colin Riches of the world want.

IMO, as an attorney who counsels in this area, it is better not to hire trouble. The Schalas and Colins are bitter, lazy, and will probably wind up suing you.

Seriously where do you live Schala? My husband and I both work 60 plus hrs a week and make >$250k but we can’t even afford to buy a home here in CA! Not even with the housing market conditions. We are NOT rich, if I was rich I would expect to live in a 4 bedroom home at least not a 2 bedroom 900 sq ft condo.

Schala, I am interested in knowing how many hours a week you put in at work? My guess is you go to work, do your job and go home. My husband spends on average 12 hours a day at work sometimes working for a 24 hour block of time. He sacrifices many hours with his children so that, as a physician, he can care for people like you. He spent countless years in school being educated and whether you like it or not he deserves every bit of his >250,000 salary. You deserve none of his money which is what Obama’s tax cuts boil down to. He taxes us more in order to fund a tax cut for you. Which by the way is not a very generous cut I think $500 per working person. That’s about 12.50 per week. I know there will be other tax cuts for families but that is the across the board cut. If you have children in daycare or college other cuts will apply. But here’s the deal if you want a handout fine but call it what it is. And please will everyone stop singing Obama’s praises. He is not the one funding the extra cash in you wallet – we our – the hard working physicians, dentists, and other hard working Americans. The cash is not just flowing into our homes. We are working very hard for it so if you want to make the big salaries buckle down, commit to 8+ years of higher education and be willing to work 60+ hours per week. That’s how we do it. So think about it do you really deserve any of our money?

“It’s a lot, lot more than 4%, and it’s not “just on millionaires. In fact, I read elsewhere today that the impact on singles kicks in at $200K. By the time they sit down with the real numbers they want, I wouldn’t be surprised if they decide that anyone making over 100K is “rich.””

Someone with 100K a year, before taxes, lives VERY comfortably, even with 4 kids and a wife to support, who doesn’t work. Someone with 200K, yes, is RICH damnit.

I’ve worked for 15~25K a year, paid 25% in taxes, and let me tell you that it’s not the 6K in taxes from my 25K that hurt, it’s the fact that I only had 19K to live with. If I made 200K a year and paid 50% of it, I could live in a palace with 100K in my pockets a year.

At 25K a year, saving money is almost impossible unless you live in a dismall apartment in the middle of nowhere (the only place its cheap), and work from home or in that small town (the commuting from ‘middle of nowhere’ to some city would make the rent deal worthless). You try buying a house with a single income of 25K a year. Even a small one that costs 100K.
