The tale of the Moscovites, which has gone into a dispute about income, confirmed a long-standing observation:

1st A person considers the "poverty income" on which it is impossible to live a income that is two or more times less than his income.
2nd A person considers theft, or theft, but in principle an unfair income, twice or more than his income.

To reassure their troubled consciousness (are 3/4 of the country poor and lazy? Can not all Moscow be inhabited by thieves and thieves? A person can try to introduce a correctional coefficient: "Yes, but they have other prices there".

At the same time, the numbered points above are equal to a person with any income. That is, at the same time, a person with a salary of 15 pieces believes that it is impossible to live on 7.5, and you will not earn 30 honestly, and with a salary of 50 the same thing he thinks about 25 and 100.
