when the fed creates money out of thin air, this is what happens

•A 26 year old middle school teacher making $55,000 a year plus her $250,000 a year VP of Marketing wife
•A 56 year old high school athletic director making $100,000 a year plus his $200,000 a year management consultant husband

I see what they did there.

"Let me tell you a sad story: In order to comfortably raise a family in an expensive coastal city like San Francisco or New York, you've got to make at least $300,000 a year. "

That's ONE of the reasons (there are others) that many choose to live in the suburbs and commute.

=> Census Bureau Reports 1.6 Million Workers Commute into Manhattan Each Day

The median household income in New York City is $50,711. Yes, you can live well in New York City and it takes a lot of money. And you can live much better elsewhere for a lot less money.

My son and his wife are founders of a Silicon Valley Company located in Mountain View. They live in Redwood City, just north of Menlo Park. They can’t afford to buy a house, so they rent. They pay the rent, buy groceries, and meet the payroll. When the car breaks down, they are in trouble.

This is how capitalism works. You get a good education and you can make lots of money. Those jobs are private companies. Some here sound like liberals who complain about CEOs making to much. Instead of complaining, apply for ceo positions. Everyone has choices and if you don’t like the choices you made, change them!!!!!

My hometown, Seattle, is now run by communists, socialists, and liberal elites. We live in a suburb about 25 minutes from downtown Seattle - people here appear to be much more sane, even though the majority are Democrats. But Seattle has definitely jumped headlong into the loony bin.

And the $500,000 for an 800 sq ft bungalow on a slab on a postage-stamp lot in a bad Oakland neighborhood makes it all for naught. Or funny as hell, depending on your point of view.

That's what made Trump's win so appealing - these assholes thought they could buy the election, and Cankles burned their money and pissed on the ashes...

*Nothing* on the cost of govt? Taxes\fines\fees? OSHA\EPA\reg. red-tape?

- take vacation
- etc

Hey - that creepy “thing” at Fresno State bragged about making $100,000 annually all on the CA taxpayers. All Alumni should cut off their contributions to the university and pull their kids out except I guess they are all of a kind who would patronize a place that would hire someone like THAT!

That’s what it take to live in commiefornia! Over 60% in taxes leaves you chump change.

Yes; but women STILL don’t get equal pay for equal work.

When janitors are paid $270K a year—how can the middle class be middle class for less than $300K?

30 year old first year Associate in banking earns $150,000 in base salary + ($0 – $120,000) in bonus

Remember this one: Thou shall not covet.

You have to make a lot of money to get away fron the niggas, white trash and other riff-raff. Sad, but true.
