And I've yet to meet a plumber who makes only $25K a year.

No kidding. My grandfather was a plumber and made 30K during the Depression. They had a house, car, my mother went to summer camp and the 3 kids went to college; 2 graduated one became a career Marine.

Oh, yeah, and this was in the 30s-50s, back when blacks like my grandfather didn't have the choices (including student loans) they have today. They didn't boo-hoo about life and just did what they had to do and moved on.

This kid is an idiot who obviously doens't know a thing about the real world - and apparently the kid's parents haven't helped either. Lord in heaven, I hate crying liberals.

That would have been a VERY expensive plumber 30 thousand at that time would have been equal to AT LEAST half a million today!

Hate to tell you this, but i work sixty hours a week on top of a full scholl schedule. I have worked since I was fourteen and have paid all of my bills on my own. My mom is disabled and my father has not been around for a long time. Way to go skippy.
