>> You think a family of four with 22K in income feels like they "hit the jackpot"?

In the 80s, I had a guy walk into my office in November who was a Pakistani that had entered the country near-penniless the preceding June. He had scrapped together enough money to buy a piece of crap car, and drove town-to-town all over Texas, Arkansas and Louisiana selling cheap jewelry. His first half year he made 55k. The next year he made 115k. Within a few years he was making more than I was.

He worked his ass off.

Why don't you pick a couple of families of 4 making 22K and give them some money? I'm sure you'd feel better about yourself.

Families of 4 making 22k need to spend their time more wisely. You don't sit there and mooch off the taxpayers. You get off your ass and figure out how to make more money.

Damn. I can't believe someone has to tell them that.
