<<I have worked for $0. in the past (because I was compensated in stock) - I am NOT poor. >>

Wall jeez Vern, you didn't work for $0 then.

<<Someone who owns a 500K house has no business collecting welfare from a worker with a higher income... just ask the parties to change places, see who is willing to do so.>>

First off the 300k home is California standards, they probably bought it for a song. $500k was their net worth.

Trade places? Glad to. I have a farm appraised at a million bucks. Netted $17k last year. You claim over $100k income last year. I'll give you the farm and you give me $100k a year. Sound good to you? I hope. Makes your net worth jump by a million.

Net worth and income are two different species. One you have and one you live on.
