Since I first heard this story, I've been busy counting how many houses I own....so far I've got about 50% of one house. The bank own the other half. But I guess McCain deserves a big tax cut and free health care and lots of cool stuffs from his lobbyist buddies. For me and my family its back to work tomorrow paying for the mortgage, the health insurance, gas to get to work, the tuition payments, trying to find some healthy food that affordable, but we're not whining. Just questioning whether McRichy Rich is capable of looking out for our interests if elected as POTUS.

It's been 24 hours. Has his staff been able to tally them all up yet? Or at least give an estimate |
