If I'd said I was a sewer worker you'd have found an example of someone who has to eat sewage for a living.

You don't get it, if two people like myself and my husband can be well off in America, pretty much anyone can be. We started rock bottom with little or no advantages. People stay poor in America because they make poor choices over and over. This goes for high income people who blow their incomes just as well for those who live on 6k a year.

BTW my husband doesn't build houses he builds hospitals and schools, his job is far from "clean" or safe. My lab job was far from "clean". Considering the amount of chemicals I was exposed to day in and day out it is amazing that I'm still in reasonably decent health.

BTW my two retired tenants with yearly incomes of $8400 and $7200 also shop at Wegman's when they can get a ride out there. It is cheaper than their local "discount" supermarket. A sign that a standard of living is rising is that even the poorest citizens have access to what would have been a luxury ten-fifteen years ago, things like cell phones, computers and internet access or a grocery store that is a bonafide cornicopia.
