That's right. Blame it on others and the system.

The U.S. actually has a low tax rate compared to European countries, like Denmark!

I opened my gob and said something stupid that I don't really mean again...nothing against illegals, I'm just frustrated that Katie(my wife) is so firm on this subject...but i respect her enough to ask for permission rather than asking for forgivness

My income tax is 39%. Then I have to 9% to pensions and something else.
That's 48% of my income. Then everything I buy has an lump sum tax of 25%.
That being said I don't mind paying to the poor, the sick or lazy. Well maybe the lazy πŸ™‚

If she knew how much you care about, I'm sure she respects you enough to buy you the subscription. Otherwise let it be your Valentines day gift to yourself πŸ˜›

So, sounds like you are saying the issue is not being poor, the issue is your wife being pregnant and feeling like a gigantic watermellon?

She's probably a little crabby, probably not getting enough sleep, and having to take care of the other child when she doesn't feel good. A little stressed about the arrival of the second child too.

all this I recognize and I try my best to help out I ask her to sit down and I cook and do dishes and what not and she just left work this week so yes she is home all day...I appreciate and love her and tell her all the time...maybe it is hormones all I know is the frustration started from a finance talk

Just a post for me to rant and complain...looked over finances with wifey today and naturally, we t ...[text shortened]... no I guess that’s the way it is...a recap being poor sucks...what are your thoughts.πŸ˜³πŸ™:'(😞
I hear you. I can't afford it either. Someone was kind enough to offer to host me though so I lucked out.

Yes. Here in darkest Africa we really struggle. I had to take out a second mortgage on my house to afford my subscription.

5 million of our older Americans have not signed up yet for their Medicare, Part D, drug plan------they are old and confused. We are NOT going to grant them an extension.

However, 12 million illegal aliens are in our country and we are going to allow them to stay, protest, procreate, receive support monies, attend schools, avoid paying income taxes, have our teachers take 300 hours of ESL(English as a Second Language) training at our expense, etc.

WE MUST REALLY DISLIKE OUR OLD PEOPLE...... OR WE MUST REALLY LOVE TACOS!!!

If it ticks you off, pass it on!! Don't forget to pay your taxes...... 12 million illegal aliens are depending on you!

Firm on it is she? Well don't ask for permission - just jump on her and give it to her straight up!

That is interesting. Crazy and scary how things that happen in your childhood shape the rest of your adult life.

We were so poor, we could not afford a real floor, so we had plywood.
My mother told me our first house had a dirt floor. 😳
