The sleaziest of the sleazy, Charles Koch, demonstrates what it means to be a rich Kochsucker.

Quote:If you earn $34,000, that puts you in the wealthiest 1 percent of the world, according to the Charles Koch Foundation.

Quote:Of course, earning $34,000 in the U.S. won't get you very far in most parts of the country. The Economic Policy Institute estimates that a family of three needs an income of at least $44,617 a year to cover basic living expenses in the cheapest parts of the country. In Wichita, Kansas, where the commercial is currently being aired, according to Think Progress, a family of three would need to make $53,721 to get by. That's far more than $30,000 a year that two parents earning minimum wage would make.

How soon before these fucks start recommending the re-institution of slavery?

Don't be giving them any ideas, Min.

Just goes to show, things don't always go better with Koch.

I think they are dying to be called "Massa."

You are probably right.

Are you serious. I haven't made more than 6 grand in the last 5 years and I'm not at risk of starving, not even close. I don't think these people have a good grip on what are basic living expenses or what's the cheapest part of the country. It boggles my mind when you liberals are so obsessed with money. If you don't think the standard of living in the US is mind-boggling good then you haven't ever been in an area of real poverty. Just a bunch of whiny wimps with first world problems.

6K wouldn't even cover rent around these parts. 44,617 for a family of three? Yeah that's about right. And the living in the US ain't all that mind-bogglingly good. I've been literally out on the street, so don't tell me anything. Open up a Bud and go turn on Fox News.

you earn 1000 dollars a year??? are you homless?? i know drug addicts that earn more than that you should try begging for money on the street

six thousand dollars here in this small town in Arizona wouldn't pay for a years rent in a small, wimpy trailer, gas (or buses), food or second hand clothing. With 6 grand you can get a six months rent in a house, not including food, gas, etc. Just the rent. Just six months. People need to eat. Don't forget the cost of living depending where you're at.

I'm in the midwest and it wouldn't do much here either. You might be able to pay rent on an apartment but you would have absolutely nothing left over, not a dime.

Right, and conservatives are never obsessed with money.

Besides, this isn't really about money. This is about greedy fucks that already have way more than enough money to live on but think they have the right to bleed everyone else dry just to get little bit more.
