Sorry to have not gotten back to this.

I did not advocate for high earners (or for anybody actually). Your comment has nothing to do with mine.

I made no value judgements at all, did not take a political side, and I certainly did not clutch any pearls.

What I said, and tried to demonstrate, is that a statement (a mathematical calculation - not an opinion) was reasonably accurate.

I do advocate for accuracy and rationality though. Fact free politics bothers me (no matter the source or the target). So, your comment would certainly make me reach for my pearls if I had any.
