    If you wouldn’t call someone with a disposable $50-100k in the US “rich,” you have no understanding of how bad it is out there.

    I’m gonna need you to sit down with your house cleaner and ask them what life is really like for a lot of americans.

      You don’t seem to understand what “disposable” means. If it’s money saved up for a house payment, it’s by definition not disposable.

      I don’t know, $1000 extra income is less than $10/hr extra than someone who can’t save this money. This hypothetical person still can’t save for retirement and they definitely don’t have a house cleaner. $10/hr could be the difference between a junior and a more senior UAW worker. Or the difference between a UAW worker and a Toyota one. I can’t call any of these workers rich. These aren’t the rich people in my mind.
