Isn't that good though? I also have a fairly high income and live in a high income country. Compared to people in poorer countries, we would be the upper class living very charmed lives. In fact, the US poverty line is at $15,000 in annual income, or just over $40 a day. But someone making this much would be richer than 83% of the world. People in less privileged countries should have better access to well-paying jobs to help mitigate the disparity.
