Yep. You're clearly not living in poverty. You claim you don't qualify for welfare benefits. You're middle class. Pay up.

But Ann Arbor Republicans determined that minimum wage workers are NOT middle class; they rejected a Salvation Army proposal to open a rooming house within walking distance of downtown for minimum wage workers.

You know darn well you're not at or below the poverty level. You claim to flip burgers for a living and you supplement your income by other means...

Conservative teabaggers seem to not understand simple arithmetic: MONEY DOES NOT GROW ON TREES.

How about telling your guy to END the wars and war spending......

Full time not available where I work. Don't have a car, so transportation is a problem. Should have more hours available in the spring. If I can free up some space at home, I should be able to make more money at home.
