I don't know who thinks that if you're making $250,000 a year you're rich. Try $300,000 or more, in my opinion. Our family has made $250,000. It doesn't take into account you might have handicapped children, or children still at home, adult children. I just would ask the people out there to realize that $250,000 is not rich. We do not go to the Bahamas on vacation. We don't go to Europe in recent years, certainly not in the last 10 years. We just don't go anywhere, to be honest. Well, we have taken one trip, now that I think about it. But it was within the United States. But the point is, you're not rich if you're making $250,000. So, if politicians want to act like you're rich, try $300,000 and up.
Yes, for the American people, it's going to be great if you see how the union cars are being made. They're having all these recalls. You wait until the nonunion cars start being made, and see what the taxpayers will pay for.
