8. sometimes the simple way to deal with this shit is to face it head on.
So, are you calling me a dog? My wife? The only people who are living in such luxury are the representatives in the pockets of corporations and the corporations themselves.

Once my BIL went on a rant about single women living in trailers with multiple kids living on welfare. So I said... wait a minute... I am not married and have a kid and I live in a trailer. So are you talking about me? He sputtered and his face turned red as he wrapped his logic in a pretzel to make it ok for me yet somehow be a valid argument.

Not sure if that would work for you, but you have every right to be steamed. You are struggling just to stay afloat while people like this are probably the ones that cheered the let him die crap. It's a tough call though. You have to work with him everyday, but then again, your non response might make him more bold about it.
