I wasn't boasting and wasn't being snide.
I pay the property taxes for my school district, so you are being intellectually dishonest by saying that he is paying for my kids since I am paying a share too every time I get a paycheck or write that mortgage check.
Sorry that he pays a boatload of taxes. I have an intense dislike for the current tax system and would like to see the IRS abolished altogether.
That said, if I was bringing home six figures, I wouldn't be saying that I wasn't certain of my ability to support children.
If you make that much money, you can certainly have and provide for a dozen children.
Unless you just can't bear to part with that 4th car you have parked in your garage. Then you better stick with just 6 kids. ;-D
That was a joke, but I intend it to show quite a bit of scorn for someone who openly posts about making six figures and then has the nerve to say that he isn't certain he can provide for kids.
That's just ridiculous.
You are NOT paying for your child's education just because you are paying "a share" of taxes. If your school system spends $17,000/year per student, then you are paying for child only if your share of property taxes and portion of state income taxes that goes to schools, is $17,000+.
And at even a conservative $15,000/year for public schooling a child, someone would have to be making WAY into six figures to actually cover the cost of educating a dozen children. And if they're not paying that much in taxes, then somebody else is supporting their children.
