I'm a lot more pedantic and not as much fun to read as Ricky, but just to elucidate what we all prolly know instinctively anyways....the first $10,000/year or so, yes, that brings happiness. Hell, it brings sanity. The second $20k brings some more happiness, but not as much. And so on, asymptotically downward, until the difference between e.g. $350k and $360k is trivial.
So anyone who begins to understand this should not shed any tears when billionaires are taxed more heavily.
And that is quite separate from the issue of rampant inequality, and how it makes all of us--even the very well-off among us--miserable:

I was quite unhappy after trump's election. But then, I thought about the 2020 election and how it is even more important than 2016 was. 2020 is a redistricting year. We need a liberal tsunami to counter the gerrymandering that has resulted in rightard minority rule. Who better to inspire such a tsunami than Putin's flabby bitch?
Okay, I was looking at some stuff on how this place works, but now I really gotta do some chores. DBacks play the Rockies in an hour and a half. I might be back then to play as I watch.
Is this where the cheap girls are?

Ricky won't even pay for his daughter's education.
Maybe she won a skolership?
Trump is definitely a narcissist, megalomaniac and naive about how politics really works.
