I would be absolutely fine, because I was on 3x the national average income.

I would not go onto national television and act like earning way more than anyone else made me a modern suffragette.

Nobody said "not fine". You mentioned "economically disadvantaged". Such a person person literally is disadvantaged in some economic ways. Not all. Not most. But some.
You asked how I would feel. That's the answer to that: I'd be fine.

And as I'd be on 3x average pay, the only way a tax break could possibly be large enough to make me not better off economically was if average people get so many their tax rate is negative.
