    LOL, the arrogance of this guy is astounding. I guess he forgot how he felt compelled to drop in on a food related thread to let us know how dumb we were? Or last week when he felt the need to pick on a high school kid who was trying to be nice, railed about men's fashion and how obviously only HE knows what should be worn, and then started several useless threads in a tantrum after he was called out? Or the number of little slanders he throws out on a regular basis. Or his odd conspiracy theories that people are using other screennames just to get him lol. Ask the mods in between pming folks trying to stir stuff up Bank, they can see the IP addresses.

    Debate skills?LOL. Typing TLDR or calling someone a lib isn't debating...I'm not sure that word means what you think it means.

    Let's face it Bank, you're a knowitall bully. And frankly get over yourself. You do a perfectly good job of making yourself look like an ass without my help.

    Ouch, Scootsie Wootsie. Those are some mean words you've typed out there, Mr. 5 Star Cook Blogger.

    I'm in your head so much that you probably know every time I pass gas.

    The fact is in the small town of Cedartown Georgia starting pay at the local Bojangles was 7.50 per hour when my niece applied 2 years ago. She was off for the summer while trying to make a bit of money before returning to UGA in the fall. I think Lowes and Home Depot start out at 10.50 at their retail stores, a bit more at their distribution center in Rome.

    Unemployment has been steadily lowering for 7 years, but that doesn't mean a 40 hour week earns enough to run a household for millions of people, let alone pay for their children's college education.

    Imagine a single mother earning $13 per hour. Her take home before insurance cost is $380 a week. She has 2 children, insurance for her and her kids takes $80 of that, that leaves $300, food cost $100, that leaves $200, rent and utilities run $150 a week, that leaves $50, gas to get to work and get the kids to school runs $25 , that leaves $25. Now the kids need clothes, an allowance and maybe a tiny sum for entertainment. So there goes the paycheck and more before even allowing for auto insurance, repairs, emergencies, oh, and putting back money for her oldest daughter's college expenses who is 15 and dreams of becoming a lawyer.

    Tough shiit, right ?

    There are two partisan agendas being pushed in this thread. There isn’t a guilty vs innocent here.
