Two jobs in a household does not equal a wealthy lifestyle....
...and the entire decade under the Fuckstick/Shitstain regime was built on fake money. Today's column from Frank Rich painfully points this out.

1. There are 2 jobs in my house and I'm well below the median wage.
The only way I could be considered wealthy is in a 3rd world country.

3. My live-in girlfriend has a job
but most of her money goes to pay for an auto wreck 6 years ago. Her insurance assigned doctor was on vacation, so she had to charge the entire hospital bill. I'm construction, and work is very slow. My two daughters work at Sears, the oldest has more money than I do. (Maybe I should start charging rent, but she's saving for a much needed car) So, the only thing that saves me is that I own my house and land, 'cause things are tight even with four of us working.
