I know news is suspect, but recently there was mention of UPS drivers earning a combined $170k in pay and benefits. I believe our trash collectors make a good wage, too.
Having high tax liability isn't all it's cracked up to be. I work so I can afford to pay a nanny, so I can work, and pay taxes. I consider even doctors and lawyers to be playing in the same sucker's game.
Over half of households pay zero federal income tax, which seems to be a smart move, and encouraged by our tax law.
The only ones really getting out ahead are those who don't take a salary, but instead take a stake in something valued on Wall Street.
