11. I haven't heard that since the seventies

when S.I. Hayakawa said gas prices should be increased because poor people don't need it since they don't have jobs to go to.
I was grossing $17K/year then, and I'm grossing $23K* now.
It'd be lovely if someone could come up with a better way to do this than starving my family.

*For a brief shining moment that was known as the Clinton years I made $40K/year...I shall always look back with fondness on that period. :eyes:
