Awwwwwwww! Poor Baron. He only gets to drive a $40,000 car, instead of a $60,000 car, thanks to those mean old Democrats who believe in taking care of the poor. Fer shame, fer shame!
Rico you are sadly mistaken about the value of my car try dropping a zero off. But more Marxist class envy is to be expected from the Obama camp here on AFF.

Yes, I'm a nurse. Yes, I make a good income. Yes, my husband is an airplane mechanic. Yes, he makes a good income. Over a third of our income goes to the government, while we struggle with a strict budget and have to keep our grocery bill to under $300 a month so we can afford to drive to our jobs. Meanwhile, people with no jobs whatsoever reap the benefits of my tax dollars buying birthday cakes with food stamps while we have to tell our children that momma will make them whatever they like. No, I am not for government handouts. I want all of them gone. Every single one. I want every dime I've ever paid to Social Security given back to me so that I can invest in my own retirement.
I once worked with a girl who had a job and received welfare checks from two states.

Hold up Ferd, those trash collectors are independent companies and they don't want no deadbeat government workers on their routes. Sheeesh you haven't been president an hour and you are already trying to kill capitalism.

Ok. I am not picking on you with my post, but I am using your post as a jumping off point. You say you are a nurse and your husband is an airline mechanic. By your own admission, you say you make a good income. That's great. What I don't understand is this: By comparison, my income and my wife's income combined has always been less than $30,000 a year, except for a couple of years that I did really well selling insurance. Out of what we make, we house and feed ourselves and four children. I read posts like yours and wonder how on earth you would struggle with having the money to drive to your jobs and buying your children a birthday cake. We don't have a lot, but my kids don't go hungry (we aren't on food stamps either), and our bills are paid. Again, I am not picking on you. I am just using your post to illustrate some things that don't make sense to me. If we were making the kind of money you folks are making, we could live like kings.
