the show says he earns $19,000. i don't know what he's doing this year, but i worked full time (40 hours a week, 5 days a week) all year in retail, and i only made a little over $17,000. it is possible to make hardly anything in this country, even if you're not like a cavewoman at all . surviving on that amount? if anyone can tell me how, i'd like to know; i'm in much debt over here . it'd be nice to get a big tax refund, and i think i deserve one, with what little money i made this year, but, then again, the republicans are in office ... it's time for me to make more money, but i'm not gonna wait around for a tv network to give me some for selling my integrity (at the very least).
