    So you have a million bucks in the bank and you make 250k a year for the next 10-15 years and you don't live an idiot you aren't rich?

    Most of America doesn't have a savings account or the ability to pay a 400 dollar emergency bill.

    I guess if you want to be in Medina?

    JE argues for single payer. And sounds poor.
    Yes. I don't have a mythical burger stand.

    You're describing comfortable, but not rich. Particularly not in Seattle.

    Puts you in the top 3% of all income earners and definitely meets the threshold most Rats are talking about when they're are talking about the "rich" who aren't paying their fair share.

    So what about Renton? Are you rich in Renton? Or extremely comfortable.

    I'm certainly not advocating for more taxes.

    Rich is wealth that can generate passive income. A million dollars is a lot of money, but it cannot reliably produce a lot of passive income. You’ll need to keep working that $250k job and put as much as you can into savings and investments. If you do that you may very well be “rich”, or close to it, at the end of 10-15 years. A salary isn’t rich. What you have in the bank is the real measure of rich.

    We need to raise taxes on passive income

    We need to raise taxes on people earning 250K a year or more

    We need to raise taxes on anything you managed to keep and want to pass along

    Your Democrats
