Now I want you to run a little thought…

Now I want you to run a little thought experiment I got from Warren Buffett: "Imagine there are two identical twins in the womb, both equally bright and energetic. And the genie says to them, 'One of you is going to be born in the United States, and one of you is going to be born in Bangladesh. And if you wind up in Bangladesh, you will pay no taxes. What percentage of your income would you bid to be the one that is born in the United States?" Buffett is speaking here about the ovarian lottery.
