Tony Snow is the latest public servant to leave the White House. He says he cannot afford to stay on his salary of $168,000 a year. Poor Tony and his children. He is out of money!
These are the same people who tell the rest of us that we should be able to raise a family of four on $20,650 per year! That is the official number from the 2007 Department of Health and Human Services Poverty Guidelines. Families who make less than than receive some assistance (not much, but some).
It is grotesque how divided the country is when it comes to income and opportunities. But it is immoral that we accept it as "that's just the way it is - it's your own fault if you're poor".
