Also, I'm appalled that the Joe the Plumber everyman struggles becuase he makes $250,000 a year.
-
@heygabe Thing is he doesn't. Hes thinking of buying the 2man plumbing outfit where he's worked 15yrs. I don't get where the 250K came from.
-
@heygabe if I ever make more than $250,000 a year, I will gladly pay more taxes...
-
@raster Don't be so sure about that. You'll do it, but the 'gladly' part I can't quite see.
-
@hypnagogic when I had money I donated to causes that needed it, now that I have none, I sure wish I could get a break (and not my arm!)
-
@raster I know whatcha sayin. The reason I grudge the higher taxes right now is that the $ are used for bombs
-
@heygabe I assume you're talking about the chili?
-
@raster Donating to causes that need it is all fine and good, but why should the government get to decide for us?
-
@hypnagogic I guess as a "below middle-class" person struggling to even survive, I am looking for any sort of help I can get... :(
-
@raster forgive me, but the fact that you're on the internet and blogging makes me doubt that you are truly "struggling to even survive."
-
@mattress Foul! Yellow Flag! Correlation error: Internet access/Blogging != economic certanty. No matter how you'd like to frame it.
-
@heygabe you want *me* to endorse you? (P.S. my LinkedIn profile is 100% complete)
-
@raster Remember about an hour ago when you called me an ass? That will do.

@heygabe I heard you were "on the grill" at work yesterday, and thought you were in trouble, but you were just cooking meat over a flame
-
@heygabe earning $20k/year = richer than 90% of all living humans. What's the average income for internet denizens?
-
@mattress Yellow Flag! You can't compare US Earnings with World Earnings in context of "Struggling to live." Live is not a mesurable term.
-
@heygabe I had meant struggle to provide heath care, education, insurance, food, clothing and a home for my family... you know, that stuff
-
@mattress Becuase you just can't. Everybody's struggle to live has to be expressed in a relevent context.
-
@mattress Just because some one else suffers _more_ doesn't mean your not suffering at all.
-
@mattress You may not be suffering, but I'm suffering. I'm suffering _you._ :) If I didn't know better I'd call you a troll and move on. :)
