This really chaps me. I pay my taxes so that the White House can have a renovation of $365 million and my kids can't even afford their own place? I'm supposed to be planning for my retirement and back when I was younger and planning my retirement my goals didn't include my children. Honestly, I would make them move out but they would literally starve to death. This renovation I equate to giving somebody $20.00 to buy food and instead they bought flowers for their garden. Only there is a lot more money involved. And I can't afford the $20.00 now.
A job in Denver that pays $8.00 an hour is the equivalent to mimimum wage of the 1970's, $1.65 an hour. That isn't enough to pay for food for ONE person much less two. One child makes $10.00 an hour and that isn't enough to pay for food or housing. It's one or the other but not both. Yet we will make sure the White House has it's $365 million dollar dress up while there are literally people starving in the US.
I didn't sign up for this.
