Mike, I said it was quite a difference, flipx had done research on the ave wage of a blue collar worker across the country and I did some research to find the same job in 4 different parts of the country had a difference in pay of 1,000.00/month But the research was apparently not upto flipx standards as I used an accountant which is not a blue collar worker, then used a jr carpenter and that was not acceptable because i used salary.com for my info so I used his research site of the BLS and found out it was much more then 1,000.00 month it was 1387.00/mth
i am not a moron, I might be old and stubborn, but not unintelligent and did look into the numbers i posted...I was doing it fast and just trying to make a point...This debate has skewed way off the taxation of the rich topic this started as...//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crap.gif.7f4dd41e3e9b23fbd170a1ee6f65cecc.gif

1387/mo is a big amount for someone that doesnt make 100k+/yr

sorry, i didnt feel like dealing with his nonsense

no reason to say sorry, you probably saved me 30 seconds of life span by keeping my blood pressure low by doing your job... MODS are extremely important to any forum and the mods here are part of why I still come hereThe crazies aren't allowed to run loose and spam is cleaned up before it's even seen... that being said we are about to buy a 2000 or 2001 audi a6 with a 4.2... so I'll be back in the stereo game soon...

i agree completely, never said 1000.00/month wasn't a substantial amount of money either...Not sure what you think i said but I just went through all my posts in this thread and never once said 1000.00/mth was not a substantial increase in pay...

my point was;

it is cheaper for rent/morgage in west virginia, but the ave wage is less for the same job as in california...

california has a higher cost for rent/morgage but you make a substansial amount more in california then you do in west virginia...

so your earning vs expendature remains virtually constant regardless of where you live given the same job...

my point in a nutshell, nothing ever stated other then that and have proven it with research and other then electricity, i have been correct...

/thread...

perhaps i mis understood, but i was under the impression you said that the cost of living is the same all across the country with the exception of rent and mortgages which you have proven is incorrect. wages, groceries, gas, utilities those are all part of the cost of living. you cant really realisticly consider cost of living with out figuring in how much you pay for your rent/mortgage tho.

You know **** well that sarcasm will fly right past Flip, especially when he is in his zone. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/laugh.gif.48439b2acf2cfca21620f01e7f77d1e4.gif

You are the problem.

It's the nature of the tax code jackass. It's the way things should be. No class of people need to have all the wealth. PERIOD. If you can't comprehend it then don't post about it.


First of all, it wasn't directed at you? So it's not really any of your business. But I will go ahead and explain. He's a bible thumper and thinks our laws should be based on HIS religious beliefs. This comes from a different thread where he made this quite clear. So I say FUCK HIM and ANYONE that thinks like he does.

FUCK YOU!

Now can my arguments be taken as seriously as yours because I can say the too?

 

[Speedbump3]

No, you jsut drop F-bombs with a stong a lacking of education and basic understanding on everyone.

no shit... and they think those that have "made" it got there either by accident or on the back of the poor.. it's such a blindly selfish emotional reaction...

O.k. per the BLS
construction and extraction (general)

wv=19.42

ny=16.25

nc=14.46

ca=22.25

difference of 8.00/hr on 2080hr work year or 16,640.00/yr

thats a lot

That's a big difference. I thought you were trying to prove that the cost of living is the same pretty much everywhere?

like i said earlier, im not sure which side he is arguing for anymore.

thanks for proving yourself wrong

x6

So **** it...let you people believe what you want but I have proven my side of it, noone has given any proof to disprove any of my info...

you keep disproving yourself
