LD put an honest question in my mind: How much do scientists in America actually make on average?

I think the chart put scientist as unprivileged because there are no scientists (or engineers for that matter) in Congress, so they don't have any say in where federal money is distributed. Neil deGrasse Tyson made this point once.

That and there's a general level of hostility exhibited by average people towards scientists.

And firemen are, of course, considered the scum of society.
