Quote: 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.
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.
