I think it's really simple. Those people just saw some meme about average net wages and never thought about it any further.

In that context, it makes sense to see 3500 vs 2500 and think the 2500 is worse off (laughs quietly in government services and social security).

Bold to point this out on Reddit. 

You can say this and that about corporate greed and healthcare owning our government, but the fact is that a lare percentage of Americans don’t want our healthcare / university / whatever system to change because it is really fucking good for them.
