I made due on $12,000 per year plus a night job which netted me another $8,000. That being said I sacrificed, saved and did everything I could to earn money and get ahead. So quit with the lectures. And yes, most colleges average about $15,000 per semester. That's quite alot for folks to come up with.

That's chump change for a family with say 2 kids." What are you on crack? If you can't support 2 kids on $170,000 a year than you have some serious problems beyond trying to send your kids to college. You ought to really rethink your lifestyle and priorities. I wonder what you consider wealthy, do you think it's only millionares? I don't give a rats ass how much college tuition costs, it's irrelevant. If you're trying to pay for college with your current salary instead of planned savings that you should have been putting aside since your kids were born, then you're an idiot and you're kids probably are too stupid to go to college anyway. Do you think the same way about your house or car? Honestly, maybe you are one of the lucky few who "struggle" by on $170,000 a year and can't imagine anyone surviving on less, sounds very John Edwardsish, but trying to make it sound like that isn't rich is just assinine. “$170,000 a year is not wealthy” “Have you checked the cost of college lately.

In fact, working for free would be a really good idea; that would stop all but the sincerest of people who want to serve. When they do well and support actions and legislation that actually IS in America's best interest we can reward them accordingly.

Every last one of them. They may be able to make ends meet with the subsidies they get from their stocks, etc. but most families don't have this advantage. They do NOT need pay raises and what has galled me is that they give themselves these raises while accomplishing nothing. Robert and PCD...hope you guys have great weekends.

Like every time someone (this far into the debate) post some simple drivel like "The immigrants just want to come here to work! What's wrong with that" or "We can't track down and deport 12 million people" I am reminded of that fact. #3 There are enough of them out there in the public to give the politicians that impression, for sure.

They deserve it! Lowest approval ratings in the history of polling on the subject, etc. Yes, they really deserve it! :lol: I have heard radio soundbytes by some of the cretins who supported the Shamnesty bill talking about how apparently the American people "don't want to solve the immigration problem". :evil: You stoopid Klowns!!! They want it solved, alright, but NOT your way. They want the laws already on the books (1986) enforced! They want the border controlled. I can't believe the real or feigned stupidity of these ingoranuses. Hey! They deserve it! Lowest approval ratings in the history of polling on the subject, etc. Yes, they really deserve it! :lol:
