    Maxie's right that he might be closer to the middle class, but the middle class in this country is pretty damn decent.

    Plus he's being humble, he doesn't like to gloat. :]

    Not necessarily. The kids might be mean snot-nosed little brats and not wonderful at all.

    But the parent might be blinded with love (as most parents are) and still think he's rich, regardless of whether the kids are snot-nosed little brats or not.

    I agree. We need a procreator tax. Anything over two kids and you get taxed to high heaven. The Catholics and Mormons will hate it.

    So much the better. Also, if you've got more than 2 wives, that's an additional tax.

    Two wives does not make you rich. It makes you very, very poor. Poor in income, poor in time, poor in sanity, poor in sexual relations. If anything, polygamists should get an extra tax break for having to deal with more than one wife.

    Thanks for describing the way you make an omelette, but I don't swing that way.

    Aw, Nate, you're cute. You know the way you call someone under the Federal Tax Code making over $100K "rich". And when someone tries to tell you that amount hardly makes you "rich" in many metropolitan areas and can be living from paycheck to paycheck in the biggest ones, you then try to change that definition to "comfortable" and then try to change "rich" to mean abundant in love and friends. Now you wish to intercede in a subthread where two posters are trying to outsilly each other.

    I've never seen someone twist themselves into such a Gordian Knot just because they don't have the humility to admit they were mistaken. Admit when you're wrong and you'll learn something. If not, spend the rest of your life in blissful ignorance wondering why everyone else is leapfrogging you.

    Whatever. You ignored my point, which answered your claims.

    No, I recognized your point. I just dismissed it because it was moronic.

    And what do you know of parliamentary debate*? Please, enlighten us.

    I debated for a couple years. I know you can't just drop a point because YOU think it's moronic.

    if youve ever eaten at a diner, i bet you have, cooks do some gross stuff :)

    and a roast beef omelette might actually be tighter for you at this point, maybe give it a shot :lol:

    and back to the point, with all the money you would save using old yoplait lite containers for gimlet glasses, and weaving dryer lint into turtleneck sweaters, i would think YOU could live quite comfortably on 150k anywhere in the country....no?
