Actually I know more low income people than high income. My employees for example.-g-

I know a lot of people on fixed income. My 93 year old father in law and my 83 year old mother in law for instance. They live very simple lives, sort of like if you were to go back in time to what you had "stuffwise" in the seventies. They drive to Florida instead of fly, they stay at a less expensive motel that looks like it was built in the fifties. They live in the same house that he bought for 9k back in 1954 (new). They keep their cars for 11 years. They don't use credit cards. They have no debt. They don't eat health food but they don't eat dog food either. They have season's tickets to the ball games and to the theatre. They live on a third of what me and my husband do not because they have to.....but because they're always paying for this grandkids braces or that ones college. But then they have the usual assortment of wireless phones and VCRs and refridgerators with ice on the front.

a PC with twice the clock speed makes you twice as productive? this is obvious nonsense.
