    That's weird. Bobmarley just told us that $20/day easily feeds a family of four.

    Better get started, dog. Every minute here is another minute you could be working the Indian community for valuable ATM space.

    $20/day does feed a family of four.....I posted a fairly high end day of meals for $12/day

    do poor people have to eat salmon and chicken breast everyday???

    My dad grew up dirt poor in india and he said poor people just ate alot of rice and bread, he didn't complain

    I knew a family of 5 who received $600/month in food stamps. They used between $400-$450 for themselves and sold the rest for 50 cents on the dollar.

    How much did you spend on the fridge to hold the groceries, the knives to cut with, the bowl and plates and cutting boards, lock bags, silverware, oven and range, gas and electric to power it and the house to hold it all?

    Also, seems like your answer to dumbartonbass' question is "poor people shouldn't have sex. We shouldn't provide sex-ed, contraception or abortions."

    On the whole, Major is right. Planned temporary increases in spending should end, just like planned temporary decreases in taxes.

    dumbartonbass i like your little racist barbs....does it upset you that most indian people i know OWN gas stations,restaurants, and nightclubs? Im sorry my race has a lot of go getter who put pride aside and work in gas stations they own. Funny how so few white people own these dirty gas stations when each one pumps out basically at a minimum $250k/year of easy money.

    Does it upset you that my valuable ATMs just had a record october for me of $32,000+ of income where i basically did next to nothing but load a few with cash?

    Nah, my jimmies aren't rustled. It also isn't racist to reference your own posting history where you talk about the "in" you had with your own ethnic group. There's nothing wrong with that at all. What doesn't jive, however, is your laissez-faire politics that refuse to recognize the inherent advantages you've had in getting to where you claim to be. It's all in the game, but the dissonance in your posts is what trips you up.

    Lol eddie I know you are a cartoon character on the internet, but it is funny how you complain about how lazy and worthless poor people are and then go on to brag about how little work you do and how you live off your family's success.

    And eddie I know you like to bull****, but those businesses don't make 250k/year. Maybe 50k to 70k at best.

    so my family background is why i got a 730 on my GMAT and got into Rice and Jones' MBA program?

    The reality is I have a brain, I saw a problem within our family business and that problem was that we were getting no money, $100/month per machine, and clearly some company was making a fortune off my families businesses. I then researched it, again using my brain, and made a pitch to my family about how I could double their monthly payment while making a nice living for myself.......the expansion to other nightclubs,stores,etc was me networking and closing deals, again using my brain. I saw a problem, found a solution, and executed a plan.....yes it helped that my families owned a few stores but i have just as many machines today in non-family stores and i have 4 more arriving next friday for installation at other non family businesses.....so give it bro you're wrong, there are plenty of people from well off families who just live off their parents, I found a solution to better our family business while still doing something technically on my own. I could easily be working in the real world making $100k+ somewhere else, a Jones MBA has serious merit in life, so stop acting like I'd be on welfare without my family

    you act like it was just handed to me post graduation by my dad and uncle who said," come we have an ATM business here for you to take over"

    LMAO robbie are you serious? You think the average shell or exxon station doesn't clear $250k annually??? LMAO are you ever a moron

    $684/day is what it takes to make $250k. Go hop on loopnet most gas stations for sale are well over $1M, the crummy ones are around $1M, good ones top $4-5M east, you think anyone pays $1M for a business unless it makes $250k at the least?

    what is $684/day when you're open 24-7-365

    http://www.loopnet.com/Texas/Houston_Gas-Stations-For-Sale/

    go look plenty for sale for $2M that are dumps and make $300k/year....audited...that doesn't even count the cash involved with gas stations bc you can't account for that

    you guys are fools, why do you think foreigners die to get in that business, the cash is astronomical, especially when you own 15-20

    It doesn't make 250k and they are priced that high because they are usually selling the land and building.

    Almost all of the selling price is the building and the land. The underlying business does not look very profitable based on that price. But feel free to have your hard working family buy it. Maybe you should buy it since you are such an industrious rich right winger. Make sure you don't allow the poors to spend food stamp money in your store either.

    Btw nice thread derail lol.
