Tea Party Rep. John Fleming: Only $400,000 Left After 'I Feed My Family'

Oh noes! However will he and his family live on only $400k a year after food costs are extracted? Maybe we should give his family a tax break! OMG, I have never seen anything so horrifing as only having $400k to live on! OH THE HUMANITY!!!!!

[Kharlatasznazka]

Oh well, not my problem. I got other things to worry about.

*adjusts monocle* Goodness gracious, what is going on here?

[Master_Meatlok]

CLASS WARFARE! CLASS WARFARE! CLASS WARFARE!

[railroadengine]

Both my parents make less than $50,000 per year.
They pay most of the bills.
As the economy gets worse, I fill in the rest!

I have to be honest, I am so tired of hearing those two words from both sides of the spectrum.

Again, you show your ignorance and leave out a vital part of the quote.

"Yeah, that's before you pay 500 employees, you pay rent, you pay equipment and food," Fleming agreed. "Since my net income -- and again, that's the individual rate that I told you about -- the amount that I have to reinvest in my business and feed my family is more like $600,000 of that $6.3 million. And so by the time I feed my family, I have maybe $400,000 left over to invest in new locations, upgrade my locations, buy more equipment."

Have you ever run a business before? Owned a small business? Often times with a small business the net income that these people make isn't what goes into their pockets. I have a feeling you will just ignore this though because ZOMG EBUL RICH PPL TKN ALL DA PO PEEPLE MUNEY!

[railroadengine]

And a broke one at that.
I make a few dollars less than what they do which for people who spent 25+ in the workforce is still less than $20 per hour.
I make what I do at only 4 years in the workforce because I entered a trade.
It is not enough, we are all on the financial edge.

I just hear it so much now. I think I need to stop reading so many darn blogs and watching twenty-four hour news networks.

[terminaldave]

don't sweat it man, that talking point will soon be replaced by the new talking point...

probably by thursday... so no worries....

that or some new disaster...

if Bush was president it would probably be a new terror alert... although 11/9 is coming up so....

Spoiler

If he has daughters...me.

Wait, are they hot?

Nah, I'm kidding.  It doesn't matter.

[Cepheus84]

I never really understood exactly what he was so angry about.

It takes him $200k to feed his family?

[KnightStar]

Poor rat bastard should have to try and make it on $70 a month for three people like I did for six long years.

If people would just pull their heads out of their butt puckers and look at such as this from the Tea Party in general, the rage they would have for these rich white pr!cks would be an awesome thing.

That awesome thing would be We the People dragging them out of office only to tar and feather them on the National Mall across every news media in the U.S as a warning to the GOP.

Poor rat bastard like I said, only $400,000 left to feed your family.

Oh and to answer Sponges question of feed his family to what, I vote on a running combine as the answer to that.

Well of course it does silly!

We all know that Tea Party people don't eat the same things as us mere mortals, after a day of saving hijacked planes full of people from certian doom, they have to get a nutrient paste made on Omicron Persi 8 shipped to the states via space truckers.

That's where the 200k goes.

If you're an upper class family then it's not a lot of money. Yes, he could easily scale down his lifestyle, or he could just stop making investments in his business hiring new people and spuring the economy.
