Good for you that you've been able to do well starting a business.
Guess what? Your personal situation is not applicable to everyone - or, for that matter, even most people.
"But working stiffs can't afford houses now, fewer communities are clean, none are safe, and your kid's prospects are worse."
"Compare this to what my employer gets: If the company is successful, he (it's usually a he) gets a standard of living beyond my wildest dreams, including what I would consider fantastic protection for his family, and a world of access that I can only pitifully mimic by changing channels on my TV."
These are legitimate observations, not mere complaining.
