  • Someone earning $250,000 is definitely rich

    Having earned that for several years (though not any longer), in the SF bay area where I lived, that was the lower end of the upper middle class. I’ve since retired, and have subsequently taken on a post-retirement job in public service, so my earnings aren’t that high any more.

    to make you direct your ire at doctors and lawyers instead of at the people leeching from society

    I’d categorize lipo specialists, many cosmetic surgeons and most non-criminal lawyers among the leeches, though your point holds. I’d add that there’s a distinction between those doing real jobs and those pursuing the discretionary spending of the very rich. Sorry, yachtmakers, private-jet leasers, coke dealers and high-end escort agencies, you’ll have to learn to do something else.
