ALICE to replace Government's poverty rate?

[BlueStreak]

In 2010, we had someone write in a comment to the local Virginia Beach newspaper that the "onerous tax burden" of the ACA was going to be "devastating" to his family........"........because it is already nearly impossible to raise three kids on an (annual) income of $250k, these days.".

America is a nation of victims. Everyone is now a victim, even the most affluent among us. It is completely absurd and I am afraid we will never snap out of it.

On an annual income of $250K, I could burn twenties for heat and still be rich.

We are an odd nation...

$250,000 ain't nothing when you have three children you want to put through college. I think of how much I make now and it blows my mind that I am still struggling.

Isn't the obvious answer less kids?

$350,000 is equivalent to $25,000 back in the day.
