411: Caught on Tape: Alec Baldwin Calls Daughter a 'Rude, Thoughtless
Pig'
Friday, April 20, 2007

By Roger Friedman

Actor Alec Baldwin may be finding himself in very big trouble this
morning. I mean, big trouble.

Baldwin is caught on TMZ.com on an audiotape recording of a scalding
message he left for his 12-year-old daughter Ireland.

Click here to hear the message

Even though it’s obvious that Ireland’s mother, Kim Basinger, leaked
the tape to the TMZ Web site — either Basinger or her divorce lawyers
— it may not matter. Baldwin’s screamfest at his only child has
already caused a family court judge in Los Angeles to suspend his
visitation rights temporarily.

Baldwin and Basinger have been locked in a vicious custody and
visitation battle over Ireland for years.

Baldwin has regularly accused Basinger of playing games with
scheduling. It’s a sore point, since he lives in New York and she
lives in California.

But Baldwin’s scathing comments to his daughter on the phone message
may be indefensible. Listening to the tape, you actually think he’s
leaving a message for Basinger; there is hatred in his voice. Then you
realize it really is Ireland for whom he’s left the message. The worst
thing he calls her: “a rude, thoughtless pig.”


Baldwin is going to have to do some fast spinning to get out of this
situation, especially if the tape starts getting airplay. There will
likely be little tolerance for this kind of behavior, especially
toward a child — and his own child, at that.

It certainly is hard imagining telling one’s own kid how angry you are
because they — the child — has “humiliated” you by missing a phone
call.

More from the call: “Once again I’ve made an a-- of myself getting to
a phone to make a phone call … I’m tired of playing this game with
you. You have insulted me for the last time …You’ve made feel like
sh-- and you’ve made feel like a fool over and over again … I’m going
to straighten your a-- out … You are a rude, thoughtless little pig.”

It’s a sickening turn of events for Baldwin, who’s had a great year
career-wise between his supporting work in “The Departed” and his
awards for the comedy “30 Rock.”

But something tells me that with the latter, NBC is not going to be
very supportive of what sounds like a very abusive, not just
disciplinary, father.

All I know of this is what I've read here. (Specifically, I don't
intend to wallow in the audio link.) But here are a few alternative
inferences, open to any but scalphunters:

1) Baldwin may actually give a shit about his kid. (Not all parents
do.) Admittedly, he seems less than impressively mature about it, but
I doubt maturity in general is in long supply in Hollywood...

2) Nobody with the kid's interest at heart would've publicized the
tape. (There would've been other ways to leverage it.)

3) The kid doesn't live in terror of Baldwin. (E.g., she's apparently
not too rigorous about his phone calls.)

Still, I suppose it's nice that FOX gets to grab at a Gotcha on such a
loud leftie...

A month or so ago, FOX (and others) were all over the fact that he was
paying for an Iraq soldier's college education, even though (as he
stated) he doesn't agree with the war.

As for the audio, which I heard on the radio this morning, it's pretty
vicious tonguelashing. He goes on about how she doesn't have her phone
on a few times - hey, as a 30-year old my phone isn't on all the time
either. And the "pig" part comes at the very end.

If you took out the parts where he mentions "daughter" and her age,
you'd swear he was verbally lashing out at a grown up. Considering the
ferociousness of his message, I can understand perfectly why she
wouldn't want to talk to him.

Oh, and he also doesn't seem to know how old his own daughter is. He
literally says "11 or 12" during the rant.

Well... no, I wouldn't nominate him for Parent of the Year. But
neither would I phone Social Services to take his kid away... which is
the effect being sought here, it seems... (As it happens, I just
heard a broadcast also... and was reminded that he can sound like a
vicious sonofabitch better than almost anyone alive.)

When you say FOX was "all over" the Iraq-soldier scholarship, do you
mean they claimed it somehow showed Baldwin's hypocrisy? Or do you
mean they were being fair and balanced (TM) toward him?

He doesn't have custody, just visitation rights. And those have been
temporarily taken away because of this.

Fine if we're just listening to it on the radio and have no personal
connection to him or his family. But if your dad just called you up
and lashed out at you like that over.....what, not answering phone
calls? Not wanting to talk to a dad you probably want little to do
with?

And then say "I'm gonna straighten your ass out, you ride little pig"
when she's got a court-appointed visit to him?

As we've all seen this week, you need to deal with people who flip out
over pretty much nothing before they "straighten your ass out."

They covered it on a few of their shows, IIRC. Meaning they didn't
ignore it to prop up the image of him as a lefty looney...

Well, I'm pretty sure the only way to absolutely prevent all sudden
interpersonal explosion is to wipe us all out. Meanwhile, no, I
wouldn't care to have anyone speak to me like Baldwin... but if I'd
been hearing it all my life, it might sound different. E.g., some
parents abuse their kids with silence ...and far more verbally
threaten their kids with death than actually make good on it.

Again, I certainly don't know the facts here --indeed, they may
ultimately prove to be unconscionable-- but I doubt that trials by
knee-jerk publicity are any wiser today than they've ever been.

Also, we've heard absolute zero about what call/s he was responding BACK
to, as he's clearly mentioning in the wording:
It's unfortunately common for hi-profile couples to use the kids as
well-propaganda'ed draftees in fighting custody-battle skirmishes, as
much as the low-profile couples do...
And even without forced mother-daughter ulterior motives, no 12-yo. girl
is exactly sweetness and light when it comes to showing off independence
in front of the parents.

Inspector Poirot offers this theory: Basinger tried to get daughter on
her side of the increasingly messy court battle, indoctrinated Ireland
leaves snotty-12-yo. messages on phone about parenting or visitation,
Baldwin blows up like any dad, ahem-ahem-SOMEBODY leaks the story to the
press, and gossip-obsessed celebrity-bashing jerks guffaw over the "hot"
side of the story out of all meaningful context because it came over the
newsfeed with Alec's name in it, and because they think the rest of us will.

Which explains why we can all drop the "name-only" troll x-groups off
the headers--Hey, even *I* didn't know there was an "alt.bitterness"!

Typical lefty - Baldwin at work, what a great role-model..maybe he
would like to send his kids to fight the war in Iraq, sounds like he
would gladly see them facing the enemy. mai

You have no idea what went before, or who the phone message was

When normal people do this stuff, they have only their families

to some broad audience for amateur and ill-informed criticism,
and that's nothing but an extension of nazi paparazziism. NBC
had no cause to even replay it, do they replay everything they

this wasn't moronic trolling for a "pop" during sweeps week,

Almost 12 turns into 12 and 22 is forgotten, even by the best parent.
And if you had a tape recorder on you all the time, what would we
catch YOU saying to your kid, huh? Parenting isn't a moment's anger,
it's comprised of the whole pattern of day-to-day life for years if
not decades. Also, he may not actually have been talking to his
daughter, if he knows how nosy his ex-wife is about it. From what
I've heard from people who tried to work with her, Kim Basinger is
gorgeous, but an incrediblly vicious little bitch!

Remember, no matter how beautiful she is, someone somewhere is REALLY
tired of her shit.

Where do you get all that delusional crap?

How do you mine this out of an angry phone call that may have been
to his wife, if he knew she was nosy and took all the phone messages,
and that he was paying the way of a soldier through college himself,
despite the fact that he disagreed with the war??

It sounds like you're just dishonestly fishing for something to use

Dead on there. This recording was a very private matter of the Baldwin
family. It's an incredible violation of their privacy to publickly air it,
without any context.

I'm a divorced father of three, and I have a very bitter relationship with
my ex. (She's on her fourth husband.) I've felt great frustration at times
including towards my children during the fifteen years since the day I came
home from work to find my house empty of children and possessions. That
said, there is simply no excuse for the abusive language Baldwin used
towards his daughter.

I say that as a big fan of Baldwin's work. He is among my favorite
character actors working and his name in the credits increases greatly my
desire to see the film. "30 Rock" is a really funny show and he is great in
it.

I hope Baldwin/Basinger can get their shit straightened out.

Being as he says 'you' and says he doesn't care if she's 12 or 11 years
old, the message is pretty clearly intended for an 11 or 12 year old.

Yeah, I hate to defend Baldwin because (while he's a good actor) I think
he's a sanctimonious prick most of the time. But I can think of a few
times my own dad verbally lashed out at me like that when I was a kid
and screwed up, saying stuff very similar to "I'm gonna straighten you
out when I get home." And you know what? I deserved it. I needed to be
straightened out and now I'm grateful there was someone there who cared
enough to do it. The "pig" comment was a bit over the line but it's
nothing that couldn't be remedied with an apology. Parents say stuff
like that all time when they're angry and kids that age have a unique
ability to inspire fits of rage in their parents.

I suspect he focussed his anger he had for his wife in the direction of his poor
little daughter. While he's an asshole for doing it, the press should leave it
be. Obviously da wife and lawyer leaked the message.

Same old shit!

He was driven to the limit by his ex-wife, Krazy Kim Basinger, who
once bought an entire town and once lived with rockstar Prince, with
whom she communicated telepathically. (She sat at his feet and when he
looked at her a certain way, she knew how to serve Him or service Him,
maybe by bringing Him macaroni & cheese). That's one sick person.

Too bad AB said these things to a little kid but I think he could be
forgiven in this case.

Besides, how did the news media get ahold of this message? Think KKB
and her lawyers.

I've incidentally heard it on the radio about nine times now.

It may be par for the course for a contested divorce (and what other
kinds are there?), but if it is, it's par for the loser.

Wow, in the old days parents used to beat their kids with willow

Are you really defending Baldwin? Again, I UNDERSTAND the frustration, but
to take it out on a 12 YO with such abusive language? I don't know anyone
who has ever called their own daughter a pig. It's wrong and it's
indefensible, no matter what she did or didn't do. Adults should know
better.

That said, I just got the boxed set of "Not Just the Best of the Larry
Sanders Show", the best written and funniest show in television history. It
includes a recent interview with Baldwin. Highly recommended. (The Baldwin
interview aside.)

Absolutely true and it's completely unfair that the punishment for such poor

Here's my take: I don't defend what he said, I would never say something
like that to a kid in almost any circumstance. There are kids that are
complete beatoffs that deserve some amount of tongue lashing, but we
have no idea if this is the case here, nor do we *deserve* to know.
What we need to start doing is ascribing blame in order of importance:
the fact that Basinger would allow her kid to be humiliated publically
by "leaking" this tape is FAR worse than what Baldwin said, and the
disgusting, filthy pandering media publicizing it is far worse to. We
didn't need to hear this just like we didn't need to know what was in
the package that Cho sent NBC.

Don't worry, that's on my radar. I loved "The Larry Sanders Show" when
it was on, and there aren't a lot of shows I can say that about.

...and if there were *really* some journalistic principle that
dictated against NBC's potentially paternalistic withholding of the
Cho legacy, then they could easily have popped it onto some out-of-the-
way but freely available web link. (This suggestion from the

I absolutely agree. Doesn't change the fact that Baldwin said the words.

I'm still pondering that. Perhaps it would have been best just to let the
FBI have the package. But I don't agree with those who say that covering
the shooting as a news story is wrong. Would it be better we not know?

Best written and funniest comedy in the history of television. Rip Torn is
a national treasure. (As my good friend Paul used to say whenever we
discussed the show in the 1990's.)

Oh I see, if this had been Bruce Willis instead of Baldwin, the left

should also be ignored?
yeah, right.

Whaaaaa? You can't possibly think that's true. How does a child consent to
something they know nothing about?

A far cry from having Basinger as a mother is my guess. Would you want
Baldwin to tell you how to raise your kids? It's his business, not ours.

It would be better if it wasn't a media circus giving incentive to the
next guy to "go out in a blaze of glory." They are encouraging that
behavior--what's good about that?

My favorite Artie line: Larry invites him to a party and says "Be there
or be square." Artie says, "I can be both."

Larry, sharing with Artie that he is upset that Alec Baldwin (a guest on the
talk show) slept with his ex-wife while they were separated: "You were
right Artie. It was a mistake booking him on the show. All I do is picture
him fucking my wife. And she's always on top."

Artie: "Lazy bastard."

I love that show.

If you think that a child can consent WITHOUT knowing, or if you
think that all children know NOTHING ABOUT sex, then you really
are stupid. Lots of them know virtually EVERUTHING about sex,
especially the kids of people who are sexually liberal enough to
grasp the concept that kids may want sex too! I know that *I*
wanted it when I was 9, and many could even earlier.

No, the rich. By "rich" I mean everybody above, say, $80K per family
per year. These are the over-privileged who CAUSE the poverty of the
underclass with their rampant greed, and who impoverish further the
disadvantaged by investing in a second or third rental property to
amass a nest egg for a kushy retirement.

I don't know where you get such shit, we never made more than $25K
each in our lives, and we don't now. We've NEVER been to camp of any
kind, except the local state park in a cheap tent. My wife went to
music camp a couple times as a teen, but was unable to afford it after
that, and HER father was a high school BAND DIRECTOR!! Her mother was
a secretary and housewife. None of us has ever seen the Catskills, and
I don't frankly even know where they are, even though I've heard of
them in movies and on TV.

----------------------------
No, I said consenting children, not "consenting" children. That DOESN'T
mean that their consent is mentally fabricated in fact or kind by some
honry adult or adults who just want to fuck them, that means that they
actively want whatever sexually explicit experience, and that they get
to stop it any time they don't like it.

Your philosophies are not driven by humanitarianism but by your fear
that the working class and no-loads will uprise and invade your
privileged existence. American left-wing weenies fear those who make
the most noise, so you embrace this share-the-wealth scheme even
though it will kill the working class. But maybe that's good; when
the working class become po' they'll hunt your scalp, pervert.

So you want us to believe that taking the wealthy down will somehow

the crimes of the wealthy and prevant peasant revolution.

No, the rich. By "rich" I mean everybody above, say, $80K per family
per year. These are the over-privileged who CAUSE the poverty of the
underclass with their rampant greed, and who impoverish further the
disadvantaged by investing in a second or third rental property to
amass a nest egg for a kushy retirement.

No, you deleted it to distort my meaning...

No, I said consenting children, not "consenting" children. That DOESN'T
mean that their consent is mentally fabricated in fact or kind by some
honry adult or adults who just want to fuck them, that means that they
actively want whatever sexually explicit experience, and that they get
to stop it any time they don't like it.

> As if children can consent in that regard.

Children are allowed and expected to consent to things every day.
Many such things are more dangerous than sex.

-----------------------------
Why? That's nonsense! Fear? Cohorts? You're irrational and nonsensical.

And as for limousine liberal, you were TOLD you were wrong and yet

you persisted in your lie:
I don't know where you get such shit, we never made more than $25K
each in our lives, and we don't now. We've NEVER been to camp of any
kind, except the local state park in a cheap tent. My wife went to
music camp a couple times as a teen, but was unable to afford it after
that, and HER father was a high school BAND DIRECTOR!! Her mother was
a secretary and housewife. None of us has ever seen the Catskills, and
I don't frankly even know where they are, even though I've heard of
them in movies and on TV.

So as you see, you're a shit-fucking deluded little lying racist
piece of shit.

Yup.

The middle class.

Even if they make faaaarrrr greater than $80K, they ain't necessarily
rich.

The rich are the the Bush family, Kerry, Edwards, Kennedy and other
limo liberals like y'all, Sol.

You're joking, right? I guess it's a matter of perspective. I don't anyone
with $80K a year income who consider themselves rich, let alone have enough
money to invest in rental property. Is there something wrong with saving for
retirement?

DAMN STRAIGHT ! Walz, you're abso-fuckin-lutely
NUTS if you think $80K is rich. We make slightly more
than that, and about all it accomplishes is disqualifying
my wife from the welfare she was on before we married,
and now SHE COMPLAINS about our standard of living
compared to WHAT SHE USED TO GET !!!!

Granted, part of this is inflation - we live today about
like I lived on $18K when I started working.

As for owning property - yeah right... does a
car really count ? Oh yeah, I don't actually own
that, either... damn. About the time I pay it off,
it'll be broken enough that I'll have to go into hock
again to stay on the road, and its staying on the
road that's one of the critical capabilities for
staying employed to begin with.

And retirement ? Dream on...

Add to that the way that the taxes spike for income
increases, and you need to make over $150K/yr to start
seeing any sky at all. Heck, the one year that I actually
got ahead a little was when I got an extra profit-sharing
bonus at work, and it put our income over the
social-security cap, so that some of our income wasn't
FICA'd to death - what a relieve that was ! It disappeared
though because they raised that cap way beyond our
reach now... damn (again).

> The rich are the the Bush family, Kerry, Edwards,
> Kennedy and other limo liberals like y'all, Sol.

Even though I don't know who "the rich" really are,
I know I'm not one of them, and its seems Walz
doesn't know much about it, either... unless he's
just drastically mis-spoke hisself.

-----------------------
Since they aren't in the middle of Americans by income, since in fact
families above $80K are the top 20%, they ARE the rich, they are NOT
any fucking "middle class". They only SAY they are the "middle class"
to try to assuage their guilt and hide their illicit sense of
entitlement.

No, I said consenting children, not "consenting" children.
That DOESN'T mean that their consent is mentally fabricated

in fact or kind by some horny adult or adults who just want

to fuck them, that means that they actively want whatever
sexually explicit experience, and that they get to stop it

-------------------------
Sex isn't a toilet. Nor is it playing with fire. The things children
consent to everyday that are more dangerous than sex are things like
playing football, skiing, riding in cars for any purpose, etc. Those
are all statistically MORE dangerous than any sexual outcome.

Not if everybody made that much. But otherwise, yes there is. I don't
care WHO your deluded friends who make over $80K THINK they are, but
they ARE the top 20% of income earners, and if they manage to spend
it all on beer and pizza and SUVs and don't save, then they are just
stupid, because MOST people with that kind of money start with their
own house and then buy one or two more and put poor people in them at
inflated rents and have approximately $2 million in their estate at
death! That's as opposed to HALF of ALL people managing to save
precisely NUTHIN' in their lives beyond about two months living
expenses!! And that's because it all goes to rent and actual expenses
since they often don't own even a used car outright!!

$80K/yr in my area is definately wealthy. When most people around me are
making $20-30K, $80 is definately high-livin'.

Yes, lots of families have sahms, or rarely sahds. Most families here make
less than a total of $30K. And in some families, one adult makes barely
above minimum wage and the other adult will have a minimum wage job. Of
course, education factors in, as does a family's priorities(such as child
raising, having a new car, things like that).

Buy used and fix it up slowly, it will last 20 years

Retirement without owning OTHER people's homes in the USA is a

But don't count on a luxury retirement. Nobody deserves that.

If you can't MUCH MORE than "get by" on $80K then your spending has
gone absolutely hog-wild and you're making the mistake of imagining
that that is NORMAL!! $80K is the level at which you're regarded
as a prime borrower for a home loan, and at anything more than
$80K you're prime borrowe for ANOTHER home every ten years as
well, ESPECIALLY if you're going to derive income bvy renting it!

OMG- I simply can't imagine having a problem if your income is $80K!! Maybe
this has to do with what part of the country you live in? And can people on
welfare actually get that much a year!?!? If our income was $80K I'd be in
heaven. We lived on $20K for years- having 2 kids, 2 used cars, with our
rent for a 2bdrom being $350.(then there was electricity, phone and
internet, auto insurance, and medical bills b/c there was no insurance) And
we had spending money and were able to eat out once a week as a family and
rent movies and go on dates while Grandma babysat. When a family of 4 can
live on so "little", it makes it hard to comprehend how someone making $80K
could have any problems. Hell, for the first year my husband was in the job
he has now, our income was less than $16K before taxes. Now he has moved up
several positions and we no longer live check-to-check (and boy do I feel
free!!) but my family of 5 lived on less than a fifth of what you make!

People who make even more than $80K live from paycheck-to-paycheck
with maybe two weeks vacation in the local mountains and seashore.

It must be.
I live in Santa Clara County where (according to a quick internet search),
the median income for a household is $74,335, and the median income for a
family is $81,717.

And can people on

In the city I live in you'd need about $1000 a month just for a small one
bedroom apartment. I was talking to a relative who lives in another state a
few weeks ago and was amazed that she could rent a large house for about
$500 a month.

I think most people tend to spend what they make. So someone earning
$20,000 a year is spending $20,000 a year without much left over and someone
earning $80,000 a year is also spending $80,000 a year without much left
over. A person making $80,000 is not going to live the lifestyle of a
person making $20,000 and pocket the rest. Personally, as my income has
gone up so has my spending.

But what does any of this have to do with Alec Baldwin?

Yeah rent is like that here also. It varies, whether it's rural or suburban,
what neighborhood and whether it's in a large city. But our rent for a 3
bedroom now is $450, and we're in the process of buying a home.

Well that seems silly to me, to spend it just 'cause ya got it. I try to
teach my children not to live that type of lifestyle. We've been able to
have the things we have by not spending more than we needed to on bills and
groceries. That way, the extra adds up and over time it turns into a week at
the beach, a day at the zoo, Christmas,... And I actually know many people
who live this way- not overspending.
Of course, once our income got to where we weren't strictly living on each
dollar, we were able to put the kids in art classes, dance, soccer, whatever
they are interested in. So looking over what I just wrote, we are actually
overspending, but to me it's for a good reason, educational and physical,
not to have the coolest clothes and have my hair and nails done which I
think are absolutely stupid things to waste money on.

> But what does any of this have to do with Alec Baldwin?

I don't know, I guess nothing, but this is what I felt like responding to.

I must be missing some fine distinction, but what's the difference
between a household and a family?

Somewhere out there there's someone living on $10,000 a year who would say
it's foolsing to waste money on art classes, dance, etc. It's all relative.

Irrelevant, they have never had it all explained to them.
As soon as we do they start qualifying, and saying, "Oh well,

I think you are a bit behind the times in terms of your stats on
income levels. While $80,000 a year is a bit above the average, it's
certainly not so far above as to be unreasonable for someone who
is working. My son who works as a chemical engineer works quite
hard for his money.


http://www.census.gov/hhes/www/income/4person.html

In the 1970s, a family of 4 was able to live on $15,000 a year in
most places
In 2005, however, that same family needs $60,000 to maintain that
same standard of living.

Note that the median income for a family of 4 has risen. In
California where you live, the median income in 2005 was
$65,766. In Texas, where I will be living, the median was
$56,278. Obviously, there are states where it is a bit less, but
I did not see any that had a median of less than $47,000 in 2005.

Note that there is a disparity between these incomes in various types
of households. This does suggest that some groups are poorer than
others due to external factors like race, marital status, etc.

Overall in the entire US, married couples have a median income of
$66,067, while female headed households with no husband have a
median income of only $30,650 and male headed households with
no wife present have a median of $46,756.

Interestingly, Asian households have a higher median income than
any other group ($61,094) including whites. Blacks fare the worst
with a median income of only $30,858. The age of the head of
the household also contributes with the highest medians having heads
of households between 46 and 54 ($62,424). In general, those between
the ages of 25 and 64 have median incomes between $47,000 and
$62,000. Those who are younger or older have less income.

The medians, of course, have half the population above and half below
and some people will be in dire poverty and others quite wealthy, but
your contention that those who make $80,000 are in the wealthiest
class seems pretty skewed.

> "aztek" <a...@charter.net> wrote in message

Yes, its easy to be thus mistaken when counting "dollar for dollar" -
I too was
raised in a family that lived on drastically less (my single mother
made
$4K most years I lived with her). How this was accomplished had less
to do with income that you might think. Because my mother didn't make
much, she qualified for welfare, which provides more than one might
think.
Medical assistance, food stamps, low-income housing, special food
programs (cheese was the big one when I was a kid), and the like add
up to quite a bit if you look at trying to replace with straight
income.

To get the real picture, you have to take into account ALL the dollar-
details.
Even though my family currently makes $80K+, we pay almost $30K in
taxes. The work that makes the money also COSTS money - I have
a two-hour commute to work, and my wife works seven days a week,
sometimes 14 hours a day. Because of my commute, my car insurance
is four times what it would normally be. My ex-wife chose to exploit
my family by turning the income that WE work for into elevated "child
support" (over $1K per month), which she used for her own luxury
instead of doing anything particularly special for my child. EVERY
single thing we do costs the maximum possible, because there are no
"deals" or "help" for people that supposedly have "the means".
My wife's business requires that we maintain a facility, so we
pay for a building, which in turn requires utilities - sometimes
upward of $1400 per month, not because of usage but because
of commercial rates (which basically amount to another tax).
The "ownership" of the building is the only shot at a "retirement"
savings that we have, but we'll pay immense interest for that
"privilege", and the property tax structure is so oppressive that
even paid off, we'll always have to pay to occupy, and so never
really "own" it anyway. We can't affort it and a residence, so
we live in a crappy apartment upstairs, and don't have any
extra money to even remodel for some basic comfort - we
share the building's public bathrooms, and have a crock
pot and electric skillet on a table for a kitchen. I get health
insurance through work, but with deductibles and "coverage
limitations", it ends up paying for very little compared
to the elevated costs of medical services/goods. These
costs keep going up, majorly contributed to by the fact
that even the poorest people in our state can afford, and
in many cases never even feel, these rising costs
because of subsidized coverage (MA which is FREE
for qualifyingly low incomes and MN Care which is
income-adjusted). My alcoholic dead-beat unemployed
brother-in-law gets comprehensive coverage for $12 a
month, and we pay almost EVERY PENNY of medical
costs for our family, even though I have supposedly
"great" benefits from my job.

So, just a couple points - if your entire family can live for
$20K, what could justify me paying $12K for just one child ?
Why should I have to pay more than your whole family
makes in a year just in income taxes ? Its also been a
REALLY long time since I've seen a 2br apt for less than
$600/mo., unless you're looking at subsidized housing.
Perhaps that's where the "locale" comes into play, but
I live in a town of 14000 people, and its not particularly
high on the average income scale.

My wife still incredulously makes the same objections
that you point out: how can we be so "poor" when we "make
so much" ? The answer is that because of the "income" on
paper, the dollars come from different places and are taken
in different ways. The bottom line is that after we've covered
all our "obligations" to society, we actually get access to
less actual dollars from our own income than you do.

So how are we rich and you're not ?

And Walz, its another dumb-ass loony shit-crack of
yours that WE (meaning people making > $80K) don't
actually WORK like people that make < $80K... its
a FALSE generalization. Part of how we make the
$80K TO BEGIN WITH is that I work 2 and sometimes
3 jobs ASIDE FROM MY FULL-TIME, and my wife
works EXTREME hours ! EVERYONE that knows
us thinks of us as "the hardest-working family" they
know of.

Sure, I'll give you that there are plenty of examples of
people making way too much money, and doing not
much of anything for it, but you can't CAUSALLY link
making certain dollar amounts to NOT WORKING !

I can also give you that the "difficulty" of our situation
makes your (Steve's) position appealing, namely that
if EVERYONE lived a "subsidized" life, perhaps things
could be kept more fair. One thing seems evident, it
doesn't seem to be working to be half-capitalistic and
half-socialistic. Someone always gets shafted.

OK, if you just want to count the "averages". I don't think
that gives a good picture of the actual activity and impact
of costs in a real person's life, though. If I want to sit alone
in an empty apartment and do the bare minimum just to
"exist", I can live with costs only going up in accord with
the "book inflation" rates - but NOONE with any motivation
at all lives a life like that. The fact is, the activity of "living"
escalates costs, and thus magnifies inflation.

I said "stay on the road", not "buy a new car" - how
the hell am I going to pay for fixing a car when I lose
my jobs because I don't show up because I'm "fixing
my car slowly over time", dip-shit ?!?

The REALITY is I have to start out with both the JOB
and the WORKING CAR to maintain the job, and this
usually means going into hock to start out with.
Getting OUT of hock can involve some luck with
timing and opportunity, and isn't GUARANTEED to
be a matter of just wise choices.

Illusion - once past the "cap", any additional income, which
is untaxed, has the effect of lowering the "flat percentage"
in relation to total income. If the cap is out of reach, the
tax is still there - an ADDITION to the RATE-SLIDING
income tax.

I don't see any of the above, even in the expensive places, even
near to being over $80K. Close, but no cigar. And whether it is
$80K everywhere is quite irrelevant. It would be most places,
and I gave only one figure.

I don't make $80K, but I know no one who does who doesn't have a new
SUV they don't need and which consumes twice their fair share of
gasoline. And onto that they are buying a house, while the rest of
us rent. One day the majority of us will organize and make rental
property illegal and use their democratic power to confiscate their
rentals and appropriate them and then make them unsellable in law.

Then you're just fucking stupid and your kids are neglected.
There have always been examples of loony-poor who worked

Sure I can. I simply ignore the loony-poor who try to keep up with
the rich. They're a sick aberration.

------------------
Not "subsidized", merely protected by a democratic government that
would enforce fairness! You make rental property illegal and
confiscate, to the ownership of the renter, any home other than the
landlord's own, and you then use public power to relocate people to
the surrounding near country, where with democratic help they can
be delivered the building materials and machinery so they can all
build steel and concrete compounds that will last for a thousand
years for their families, with all the space they need.

Then by Democratic fiat, we destroy all debt, destroy all private
ownership of everything but their home compound, and we destroy all
banking and stock instruments and make the Hour of Labor the ONLY
medium of exchange. No one will be paid more than another for any
Hour of Labor that the People authorize Democratically. And if you
don't work, you will be starved to death, because it will be illegal
to feed anyone who doesn't accept the work that the rest of us offer
them, and to eat they have to show current proof of employment.

We mandate that anyone now producing goods in industry or providing
crucial services MUST continue to work at their previous position
unless replaced, on pain of starvation until the society reacquires
long-term stability. And we eliminate the office clerk/cashier
positions that merely keep track of debt and reorganize those
workers into production workers.

Half of the incomes are above the median and half below. Thus
if the median is $55,000 there are bound to be incomes well above
and well below that.

I didn't think I needed to lecture you about the difference between a

My ds makes a bit over that and does not have an SUV. He spends
almost half of his income on his autistic son's therapy as we are not
in California where they are paid for and insurance does NOT cover ABA
at all (it may soon because there is a bill in the senate about having
insurance pay for therapies for children with an autistic diagnosis).

Buying a house is not only for the wealthy, btw. I don't know where
you get that idea. My parents bought a house way back when I was a
child and my dad was a factory worker and then a janitor. It's harder
nowadays, but it certainly does not take an $80,000 a year income to
buy (especially right now given the housing markets). Of course, in
California, almost everyone is priced out of the market, but that's a
special case. It's not true in most of the US.

As I said, less than half the people are keeping more than the other
half of people in chains, economically. We need to use Democratic
Power to end that forcibly. Whether the median is $80K here or there
or $100K someplace else is irrelevant. And yes, I know the difference
between median and average.

Well. Dotty, just imagine what my response would be to that, and then
ask yourself why you even bothered here.


> Buying a house is not only for the wealthy, btw. I don't know where
> you get that idea.

--------------------
It is where *I* live, because they won't give MORE THAN HALF of all
people a home loan!! Homes here are $600K to millions even for some-
thing tiny and tight. Why? Because the rich want to live here, and
they forget that they need servants to wait on them. And the rents
cost as much as a house payment because the landlords want their
rental properties to PAY FOR THEMSELVES!!

Yes, if you want to live someplace stupid, where you can't even find
work, you can find a place to buy for cheap, but even then, the old
rule of 25% of your income works nowhere these days.

LOL. Steve, lots of people find work outside of California. My
husband always worked and we've never lived in California. My son
works too and he doesn't live in California. You are simply blowing
smoke and it's very silly.

I am sure there are places where people cannot find work, but there
are plenty were people work where home prices are quite reasonable.
The average price of a home in the Houston area is around $200,000
though there are certainly million dollar homes in the area. The
average price of homes in the Chicago area depends on which suburb,
but you can find a nice home for a reasonable price there as well.

Note that I am not speaking here of mansions, just nice homes in nice
neighborhoods.

Of course you "work", but you can't make a decent wage in backwoods
places! And that means you pay a greater proportion of your income
for housing, purchased or rented, and the situation is no different
THAN California. I only NOW live in California, but I have lived the
other half of my life in Illinois and Missouri, where if you buy a
home you will never get to KEEP it, because the good jobs never last
for being exported, and you will be relegated to two jobs at various
local Mickey-D's and never get to raise your own children, who will
be uneducated drunks, as most youth seems to be in those hellish
little midwestern towns unless they are among the very few who escape
to places where they can be even MORE abused, like California!

A slave-owning heritage marries up with a fambly that got rich by

And if that's not bad enough, he wants others to reparate.
