There is such an appalling disconnect here regarding the value of money it's no wonder there is such push back against the growing wealth disparity in North America.
When a 200k earner can point to ~80,000 people and say "I'M SO POOR, LOOK AT ALL THESE PEOPLE WHO MAKE MORE THAN ME" and ~2.7 million people can point at the 200k earner and say the same thing...

You're infuriatingly obtuse.
Do you think someone who makes or is worth 100 million dollars thinks about saving money, ever? Do you think he worries about losing his job? Looks at the price of things and budgets?
Yes, the 200k person can do a hell of a lot more, but they are still driving old cars because they can't afford a new one. They still have a mortgage, worry about losing their home etc....
