I have reached the American dream

[Marrah_G]

I now have 2 part time jobs..........woooohoooo

1. Get to three and you'll be uniquely american.

according to W.

3. you have to have the 3rd so you can buy health insurance.

1 for food
1 for housing
1 for insurance and a 4th so you can take a vaction.

2. You have arrived.. Almost there, just need that coveted 3rd under the table

job cleaning a rich persons home twice a week, and then you will really be living the American Dream.. Just think, it was so lucky that the rich person remained wealthier so that they could hire you. Its a good thing "job producers" like that are around so you have the privelage of cleaning up after their shit.

4. I cleaned houses for rich people

I do it at home for free so what the hell. It paid well. :) I'm good at it.

6. Yup. Nothing wrong with cleaning houses.

My mom used to take care of a vacation house when we were younger. It helped add some spending money.

10. No nothing wrong. What's wrong is not taxing those that have the money,

while the Govt forces austerity down everyone's throats at the same time unemployment is high and the jobs that are being produced are low wage positions that don't pay the bills, hence the 2 or 3 McJobs one must work in order to pay their bills... AND that rich person would have hired you anyway if the tax rate was at 39% or shoot even 50%.

7. There is nothing wrong with cleaning a house. What is wrong is letting that

rich person keep more and more money that they don't really need (even if they were taxed more, they would still hire help to clean their large homes)... In the meantime, the Govt cuts back on any help for most of the country with their austerity measures. Minimum wage is not a liveable wage. The unemployment is high, companies refuse to hire or invest, and the Govt is sitting on the sideline like it has no responsibility to the people. Guess you missed the point and sarcasm of my post.

5. That accomplishment should be added to The List.

9. +

8. Congratulations for finding even 1.

I understand what you're saying, though. You have my congratulations and condolences all at the same time, if that makes sense.

11. LOL

It makes total sense.

MY world turned upside down a couple weeks ago and I found myself again a single parent, so the second job is necessary. Hopefull I can save enough over time to still realize my dreams of moving to VT.
