Wealthiest wage earners?
The highest wage earners pay a lot in taxes. The wealthiest people typically have almost zero earned income, and get their income through investments, which is called unearned income.
Wages are earned income.
Wealth is different than income.
What was your point?

A grown man (use that term loosely) counting bathrooms on a message board to prove he’s important is one of the bleakest things I’ve read all week.
“N-no boy, my fixtures cost 3k ????” like anybody with actual wealth talks like that. People with money don’t usually need to inventory their toilets during arguments to feel superior.
The funniest part is that you keep trying to paint other people as “trailer trash” while behaving exactly like the stereotype of a guy who’s credit score is half of what mine is. In summation, you ain’t shite boy.

Elon is on track to be the world’s first trillionaire by 2027. You probably can’t wrap your Arkansas dropout brain around how much wealth that is. He hasn’t paid a penny in taxes in years thanks to his good pal the orange makeup wearing man. How did you feel looking at your last grocery receipt? Or fill up at the gas station? Or your last doctor bill? Or your tax bill? Stop defending corrupt billionaires. The world is like a resort for them. Everyone else is just the waitstaff. They dgaf about you, boy.
Are you even a millionaire baw?

You stupid redneck piece of dog doo doo...I bet you got beat up a lot while growing up and trying to fit in with the normal guys. Your pettiness is showing in every word you try to put out.
There is something deep inside you that bothers you so much, a secret that you try to mask and hide by continually putting down others to make yourself look good. But it ain't working!
Let me ask, were you ever an alter boy? And maybe the priest showed you the key to heaven?

The caveat is important: Clinton did not do this alone. He had a booming economy, the post-Cold War defense “peace dividend,” higher tax revenues, the 1993 tax increase, welfare reform, and, after 1994, a Republican Congress pressuring spending restraint
But by 1998 or 1999 that economy was built on a stack of paper and eventually collapsed in the dot com bubble and companies like Worldcom and Enron went bust. You also had some fiscal restraint where the federal government was not funding countless green new deals, early education programs, Medicare Part D, TSA, subsidized health insurance, etc.

This...but because he was POTUS with a fiscally conservative congress. That combination lead to fiscally responsible budgeting.

A lot will say Clinton
If it wasn’t for Newt pushing the fiscal conservative agenda at the time Clinton would have never be mentioned

Reagan. Albeit "fiscally conservative" is just a rally narrative and an idealistic bridge too far, given our current civilizational model. Government is a lot like 'Captain Redlegs' in "The Outlaw Joses Wales" when he said "doing good ain't got no end". Same with Government as they can print money.
And just like with any extraordinary Power (AI at the fore), in light of said Power's ability to serve a common good, Government will always increase as long as populations and "the weaker brethren" therein do. Because empathetic and merciful Government will create and multiply dependent and entitlement-minded populations. Enter Marxist vs Conservative ideology and the dogfight for formal control.
I would love to turn on my TV and watch what the World looks like 40 years from now. Big stuff is happening and it will exponentially increase.

This is the part most fail to grasp. It may have been the last time BOTH sides had to work together to do the right thing overall
kudos to the Democrats for acting like adults
kudos to the Republicans for acting like adults
Shame of BOTH parties for acting like children since.
When we are the UNITED States, we are formidable. When we are divided and blame the other side, we are on the way to collapse.
