gay guys kissing on Glee [/Rick Perry] I don't know, I might be fully willing to blame Glee for the economic collapse in some capacity.

If I had that much money, the schools in my town would receive a lot of extra funding. If I had that much extra money, my old high school would have a viable THEATER PROGRAM! Seriously, fuck this guy. The acronyms "STFU" and "GBTW" apply here. Also, "PYWM" (Pay Your Workers More) applies, given the mathematical revelations.

Ah I love this class warfare bullshit. Tax the piss out of the poor, include tax breaks for the rich is fine. President declares taxing the piss out of the poor is bad and that the rich should pay their fair share is class warfare Seriously, fuck this dude. Fuck him with an iron poker heated red hot and rub a brick of salt into the wound after. Don't you know, if you tax the poor more it gives them the gumption to not BE POOR ANYMORE!!!!!

I'm moved by this poor Congressman's plight. I hereby announce the founding of a new charity, Feed the Rich Job Creators. Here is a rough draft of our first commercial.
*Walk on camera carrying Congressman Fleming* Hello, I'm Veras, and this is John. John owns a multi-million dollar business, but thanks to regulations, taxes, and paying his workers, he is forced to survive on a meager $400,000 each year. That is only $33,333 a month, and even though more than one third of American families do not earn that much in a year, we know that John deserves far more. It is up to people like you and I to help John, and the 1.5% of Americans like him. For a donation of as little as $5, you can help the Republican Party protect the poor, oppressed job creators. Please open your heart and you wallet, so John doesn't have to. If not for yourself... do it for John. *camera zooms in on Congressman Fleming's face to reveal a single tear running down his cheek*.
What do you guys think?

Um, more than just one third, only 1.5% of the population has a household income greater than $250k At least as of 2005

I mean that more than 1/3 of American families make less than $33,333 in a year--the amount that he makes in a single month.

Ah, that makes a lot more sense. Yeah, $33k per year for a household puts you roughly in the bottom third.

Seriously, fuck this guy. The acronyms "STFU" and "GBTW" apply here. Also, "PYWM" (Pay Your Workers More) applies, given the mathematical revelations. One of our grade schools just built a whole new building behind the old one. They were going to tear the old one down, however the only other grade school on our side of town had to close because the building was run down. So all those kids from the second school had to be bused to the first school.
