Great way to sum up paying higher taxes. I'm going to try and remember that one the next time I get in a similar discussion.

It might make sense in investment examples, if you actually used a parallel structure. > Would you like to have $150,000 in your retirement account, or would you rather have $333,000 in your retirement account? You've only stated the analog of the "Porsche v. Ferrarri" part, but not the "well-maintained highway vs. road with deep potholes" part.
