We menu plan and take lunches to work, rarely eat out, watch for sales before we make purchases, have a strict budget. Why? Because we have to, and we make over your 100K threshold. I'm not looking for a hand out, but man it's quite annoying when someone who has no idea about life with a kid thinks they have it all figured out.

The 100k mark is because I believe it is what the proposal was (110k maybe?) and not because I am pulling it as a random number.
Supporting 3 kids on 100k is different than supporting 1 kid on 100k. Supporting 1 kid on 100k income is not "barely getting by".
What about supporting 1 kid on 100k coming from 1 spouse?
Is it really fair that tax payers subsidize the household with 1 person working making 100k and 1 kid the same way they would subsidize a household with 4 kids with 2 people working making 50k each?
