Bummer. I'd like to see your response still.

Same as everyone else's response I'm sure. I've worked for 15 years, barely ever even cracking 40k in yearly wages. I've made probably $500,000 in total wages over my entire working career, and I have almost zero to show for it. If I got a million dollar hospital bill tomorrow, I'd likely go bankrupt trying to pay for it.

My family of 3 can realistically live off of, very comfortably, 30-35k a year, and we've had a double income for nearly a decade now. So where is the $250,000+ that I should have as a single person, not including investment gains? I spent it. All of it. Making wise financial decisions is not a secret anymore than eating healthy and not being a fat slob is not a secret. If I get a million dollar medical bill tomorrow, and can't pay it, whose fault is that? It's sure as shit not Walmart's fault because they can afford their corporate taxes. It's not rich people's fault because they pay more capital gains taxes than I've paid income taxes. Nor is it the government's responsibility to dig me out of that hole. That's all on me.

I wanted to comment on health care as well, as a lot of our biggest health disease are preventable by people taking care of themselves, not everything, but a lot. Obesity, disbetes, etc. He mentioned that he thought a healthy populace was part of upholding national security as well. I can't quite rectify that, but treating a lot of people doesn't necessarily mean they all get healthy either. I lost my steam.

All in favor of irvings avatar changed to a dalls sheep, with broken leg. SAY AYE !

LOL good luck finding a picture of Dalls Sheep with two broken front legs. I take those pictures for you (and to get paid, even though what I posted today doesn't pay extra for using a harness). I have to say, there is nothing "comfortable" about being three stories off the ground and near the edge at the same time, but it's what I signed up for, so I don't really have a choice.

BUT You accept that task, to provide for you and your family. You've made that choice.
If it's not something you like, down the road you would get another job. Not sit on your ass expecting someone else to provide for you and yours.

Fortunately I only have to wait till November when my boy Sanders is elected. Then I'll get whatever job I want. Hopefully I'll get at least 2 work from home days too!

Someone was bitching to me about how competent he was the other day and actually said the words "I graduated with a 3.6 GPA, of course I can form a sentence!" And all I could think about was, "Since when has anyone ever given a shit about a GPA score?

I always tell people when they spout their intelligence level.

Because you have the tools, doesn't mean you have the knowledge .
