I dare anyone to disprove my assumption that the Lloyd Blankfein and Jamie Dimon households are basically one-income families.
I'm too disgusted to waste any effort to determine what Dimon earns, but we now know that Goldman Sach's Blankfein just got a raise to $19 million.
At the risk of being politically incorrect - I bet Judy and Laura's days revolve around their "fake caring" charities for tax writeoffs, hair styling appointments, cocktail party planning, social engagement prep and confirming reservations for state dinners (actually, they have their administrative secretaries handle that). We already heard that such ladies most certainly can't be expected to (gasp) wait in line for three minutes at a charity event behind mere ruffians who only contributed half as much to the cause.
But wait. Suppose you are a two-income household who busted ass to earn $106,800 between two wage earners. You'll never guess that you "dual strivers" will be paying a combined $8972 in Social Security taxes, while the Dimon and Blankfein households only pay $4486 each.
Hey man - why toil from 8am-5pm every weekday grabbing whatever overtime you can get.
You'll be a lot better off performing "God's Work" at whatever location you prefer to be at since such "work" is subject to no physical confines. Heck - you could be anywhere surfing porn while making monumental decisions backed by the full faith and credit of the United States government if it blows up in your face. ( I figure if SEC staff can surf porn then Wall Street executives should have the ability to do so as well).
Just remember all this lunacy when you hear a moronic congressman or senator mention the Social Security fund crisis.
