I know wealthy people who would be sent into fits of ecstacy if they had the chance to get free food. Most old people I know would sell their grandchildren into slavery for the opportunity to wait in a food line.

Given that I'm suprised that the best example of an average person you can find is a minimum wage earner. The average American does not work at Home Depot. This is especially true for those that are old enough to have 12-year-old children.

Especially nowdays, most people with 12 year old kids are, like, 52. (grin)
