> The average American is more likely to live in the equivalent of Flyover, Kansas than Sunnyvale, California. Or, 90 minutes from Sunnyvale, an amount of time they are keenly aware of as they commute there every day to clean the clothes, cook the food, and maintain the real estate of the “not rich” people you are describing. > Tell that hypothetical average American to buy a mediocre house in Sunnyvale and see what reaction you get. They would say I’m sorry I can’t, because the prices of those houses have been bid up by the rich people who currently live there and make $400k a year. > Nobody cares what lifestyle $400k can buy in Mississippi People in Mississippi do. They also get a say in setting tax policy for the U.S. which is the topic of current discussion.
