Yes, houses cost millions even (and especially) where I live, which is exactly why people carry mortgages. And take out student loans for their kids' educations. Savings and investments, of course, are not expenses by definition.
But I'll continue to humor you: if $700K/year isn't enough, as you claim, how much do you believe IS enough?
Sure. People are FREE to make whatever value or assessment of morality they choose. If you think that's scary you might be a fascist.
I strongly doubt you actually believe the above. According to you, it's a perfectly valid assessment of morality to decide that, for example, anyone with Thai heritage should be killed.
All conservatives are such from personal defects. They have been effeminated by position or nature, born halt and blind, through luxury of their parents, and can only, like invalids, act on the defensive.
