It wouldn’t be fair to have your felony conviction negatively impact your opportunities. This is how justice works right?

    A million bucks isn’t worth a million bucks anymore. $1,000,000 might net you $75,000 in yearly interest, before taxes. What kind of purchasing power is that going to be at retirement?

      A worker earning $36 an hour wouldn’t make $75,000 a year.

      The millionaires are fine.

        $33/hr. was an unimaginable amount of money to me in 1998. What’s that look like when I can’t work anymore, say in 2040? How about when a loaf of bread goes from $.50 to $5.50? That’s how I know you’re a child.
