I'm waiting for my redistribution of wealth check!
Duncan when is that going to get in the mail? 
I need it to come soon or I might have to get a real job!The "redistribution of wealth" was just a neocon ploy to scare people into voting republican. Obama is not a communist or a marxist. On the contrary, if you happen to make $500k a year then you will have to pay a couple thousand dollars more in taxes. I know, it's a hardship to give up an extra 2-5% of your income. You might have to wait a year before you trade in your 2006 BMW M5 (the one at your vacation house, of course) for a new one.
This is the first time I have ever voted for a democrat. I was raised in the south. My parents still think that George W Bush was right about the whole Iraq thing.
I am a conservative. That means that I favor lower spending and less intrusive government. The sad fact is that the democratic party now represents those goals better than the republican party.

Truth + this
$11.00(machinist) x 80(two weeks)= $880 x2(one month) $1760
after uncle sam and child support and 401k and insurance
$450 x 2= $900
And to think I went to college, and started a family only lose my son to a crackwhore and to make this shitty wageOk... I'm pretty sure you don't live in Mississippi. Otherwise I would give you legal advice (I have only passed the bar exam in Mississippi). I am not familiar with your local laws but I am pretty sure that you could win custody of your kids if you can prove that your ex-wife/baby momma is a crack whore.
Also, you could make more money as a machinist in a union. Qualified machinists make pretty good money. I know my little cousin's boyfriend makes $22/hour as a machinist in Wisconsin, and he is on a work release program from prison. The job market is tough right now but you should start checking some websites for a new gig that pays better. Your skills are worth more than $11/hour.
