I am a interior designer, self employed. No we dont all work for the rich. I get paid by the job and yes I have to pay taxes on it. And no I dont work all the time. And my husband is a PM in construcion, used to be a contractor. Combined we make about 70,000.00 before taxes. If you really must know we bring home about 57,000.00. In todays world thats squat when you are honest!!!!

I have nothing in common with y'all. I guess I don't understand
as an American in the land of opportunities, why you citizens
don't have health insurance... but even if you got the strawberry
picking jobs or whatever, unless you too want to shack up with
10 other families you still won't have enough for insurance.
I pay $865 per month for my wife and myself, I cannot afford to carry it on my children.
Do ya think this could be the reason?

It's pretty tough to go out of business as a Construction Company, but I guess, you don't even need to pay overhead fees if you choose to.

sorry perfect, that's very sad indeed....

See, some illegal lovers just don't get it. These illegals get free health care, but those who are citizens can't even afford to carry insurance on their own children. Now, that's very sad.
