In 1981 25k was a decent income. In 2011, not so much. But then again they had no familiarity with the effects of inflation way back in '81, it isn't like they had just gone through the worst inflationary run up in like 100 years or so or anything.

These fuckers have been fucking us on a regular basis since 1981. I don't give a rat's ass about Ron Paul. Fuck. Ron. Reagan.
