Wealth-Less Effect: Earning Well, Feeling Otherwise - Yahoo! Finance

This meme was old to begin with, and getting increasingly so. Here is yet another article telling us about how bad people who make a quarter million a year are doing. And now their taxes are being RESTORED to pre-Bush levels. Yes, I can play with words too. Our economy was better before Bush cut their taxes. So it isn't a raise, or an increase, it is a Restoration.

And yes, everyone can adapt to their income and get into bad spending habits, but I sure as hell aren't going to pity these folks like I would the millions who lost their jobs in this recession.

And why are people writing these articles? Do they WANT a rash of condo and mansion burnings by outraged regular folks?
