Apparently not, as they have LESS disposable income and a LOWER standard of living.

Obviously a person who pays $7000 a year in taxes for healthcare, education and child care has a higher standard of living than someone paying $25000 a year for the same through his or hers "disposable income". To claim that the person who pays through the nose for these services has a higher standard of living because it is paid out of pocket in the private market is patently absurd.

No need to. I'm just passing along info from peer-reviewed published research.

You are free to prove anything you assert by submitting a rebuttal to the research info I've posted to a professional journal, similarly have it peer-reviewed, and if they think your position has merit, it, too, will be published as a rebuttal.

Someone skip the needle on that broken record.
I dont understand, why so many people have so much disdain for the rich. Its like these people crying about the rich getting richer are entitled to their money somehow, and or, want the rich to be broke. Is it misery loves company? jealousy? or both?

Here is a link to median incomes for different countries. They work far less hours, have far better tax funded services, a much stronger safety net and still about the same income as in America (which does not have to be spent on massive health care bills, child care or living on the streets because of disability). They dont have lower standard of living:

Worldwide, Median Household Income About $10,000

This guy is filling campaign promise after campaign promise. No wonder the Democrats are flipping chit.

The Democrats are going to get desperate now. This is the dangerous moment.
The great growth that will result from this new tax bill will cause even more election domination by the republicans....poor Snowflake Dims

Great, so standard of living now has to be defined as disposable income even if that person has to work 120 hours a week for that income and pay half of his income for health care...No one can object to the absurd claim that this person has a high standard of living... gotcha.

The rich crashed the economy on Wall Street after getting insanely rich and begged for bailouts from the working stiff of America. They got it of course. And the working stiff is laughed at for defending this ruling class on Wall Street.
