It will usually anger a middle class tax payer struggling every day to pay bills when he reads a story about someone getting a free ride. However sometimes that free ride wears a business suit.   I agree with the posters who say that we stress over the pennies going to those on welfare and don't question the billions i...more

that is a generalized statement that doesn't ring true for most women.  I was divorced and never received a DIME in child support.  My husband went on to have a new family and he left the old one behind like it didn't exist.  If women get custody it's because they are doing the lions share of raising the kids-if more d...more

a rich person who earns over a million a year in salary may pay more tax but the $100,000 he pays hardly affects his ability to feed his family.  the poor slob making $25,000 only pays out $5,000 but it greatly affects his ability to put food on the table.

Wonderful to see someone so deserving get ahead.  Usually the shows are based on body comp or sex factor and not talent.  I loved the others on the show too but it's nice to see someone older still realize their dream

The good drivers always end up paying more to cover the costs of the lousy drivers.  Even after years of a clean driving record and no accidents mine continues to climb due to numerous claims against my insurer by BAD drivers.
