Look at the original post in question. The poster referenced "showing" earnings. You show your earnings to the IRS in April.

Yet, I hear some American born idiots say things like "college is not for me" or "I can't afford it". Our country is full of pathetic losers.

What about people who go through apprenticeships? There are other ways of getting into a good career than college. Skilled tradesmen usually do pretty well and are in high demand.

Here is the post.

The income shown in April in fact is for the previous year.

The relatives would also have to get a 1099 or W-2 and somehow address the money they made.

I am a Tea Party member with a degree in Economics. My other degree is Human Resource Management. Are you trying to say Tea Party members aren't college educated? Most members I know have degrees.

Tea Party members are overall, a very educated and enlightened crowd Like the woman who never had any interest in politics until Obama was elected or the people who still believe he was born in Kenya. Sorry, but Tea Party members are mostly ignorant, uneducated people with very few exceptions.
