I sure hope the 200 people left are making enough money to pay for it.

Well, my wife and I are working on it. Unfortunately they are trying to drive us into welfare as well. We barely make $50k a year combined, but because we own a home and play by the book, our taxes keep going up to pay for all these slugs who expect someone to solve all their problems.

I surely didn't start with a silver spoon in my mouth. My mother slaved for 20 years in a laundry room, raising 3 children on a wage barely above minimum. We didn't even have a car growing up. My mother could have asked the government to solve her problems, but instead she worked hard at this job and managed to feed us, AND pay off a house.
