250k is the 92nd percentile of incomes in the US. You’re right that people have no concept of what real wealth is, but I don’t think it’s in the way you meant it.
- tayo42 3y agoAmericans make so little money they still think breaking 100k is "making it", so people see a number like 200k or 300,cant imagine what that is. 250k only sounds like a lot becasue the bar is so low in the US. Even our politicians are under paid. This governor makes 250k. I make more then her and deffintly responsible for a lot less. And I'm not negotiating anything in my employment contract
- lotsofpulp 3y ago> This governor makes 250k Plus whatever additional her husband gets from providing concessions at the new Buffalo Bills stadium that NY taxpayers are paying for.
- tayo42 3y agoI've wondered what would happen if we paid our politicians like the private sector. Governor is more or less a ceo job. But the pay is drastically less. What kind of people are we getting to lead the? Hard to tell, would it reduce corruption or just let them pocket more?
