I'm as poor as one can get at making less than $14 an hour. And yet, I have a nice life with lots of nice things because I live within my budget. I don't have kids and I don't have a car payment. So what's with this business of some people thinking they have the right to someone else's money? If a person is "rich" then it's probably because they were smart and focused and driven to succeed. So why is it that so many putrid liberals think that such people should be punished for their hard work?!
