I do.

I had no doubt you were not in the top 1%.

This is an interesting situation. The government will give you a subsidy for health care, I understand that this will be counted on your tax forms as income. ... Does this mean this income will push people above the poverty line? Thus limiting the amount they collect from other government programs?

Guessing something with 99% certainty doesn't make you a genius, genius ;-)

Speak for yourself

So are you claiming that you make more than $394k per year?

Is there a problem with that?

Why do you care what someone else makes? Jealousy? Do you want what he makes? Why dont we raise minimum wage to 150.00 an hour?

You ever seen that documentary "super size me?" Guys name was Morgan spurlock. Boy those Micky d's sure are fatty.

Because I wanted to see if he would back up his claim of being in the top 1%. Which I still find hard to believe, as most people who are busy making that kind of money most likely wouldn't waste their time on VJ.

Jealous? Nope. I make plenty, no need.

Why would you make such a silly statement about raising minimum wage to $150 an hour? Doesn't even make sense, nor is it relevant to the conversation that you butted in to.

Unlike a lot of people here, I don't spend half my life on VJ. Like everyone else I used VJ to get a loved one through the immigration process successfully. The amount of money I make does not make me a different person than anyone else.

Let me add that $400+K just ain't what it used to be. In my town, I doubt I am even in the middle of the income scale.

Does that also apply to people who aren't in the top 1%?

If it does apply, then why did you bring it up in such a way as to suggest that it does?
