Holy shit people make that much money?

What they have left is more than I've ever made a year and that's before taxes are taken out.

Holy shit. I make less a year than these people pay in taxes. And I live 30 miles from Seattle. I fucking suck at capitalism, lol.

Yeah I was wondering about that income level, that's a crazy fucking number.

That is dual income for two full jobs I assume in a big city. Norway is a high wage but also a high cost country. Some of that higher wage is eateb up by higher cists of living.

Keep in mine that Seattle is in Washington State, which has no State income taxes. If it was somewhere like New York or California, which have high State income taxes, the numbers would look so much worse.

I know it's meant to be two people making that much money. My reaction (and others in this comment section) is that seeing two people in the same household with an income of 100k+ is not at all the norm.
