Don't forget the 6.25% that your employer pays as matching. It all factors into the "clearing price" of what your employers costs are for hiring you. Don't think for a minute, that your not paying the employer's side as well.
Haven't read all the posts on this thread, but I think anyone who makes money in a good, hard honest way gets what they earn. If you don't think so, you should move to a communist country, if there is still truly one in existance. If you don't think the USA is socialist, your badly misinformed. I pay WAY more in taxes than I take out back from the country. Just how much more police, fire, roads, flood control, national defense, etc. does Bill Gates use than you and I, yet he pays millions and millions in taxes, (yes he acutally does).
