Squeezed by rising living costs, a record number of Americans — nearly 1 in 2 — have fallen into poverty or are scraping by on earnings that classify them as low income.

Well, as long as toll booth collectors that are earning $40,000 a year, are not allowed to work an extra 20 hours a week and earn $60,000 a year. Why should they wax luxurious in the lap of their cushy union jobs? Stay poor, you union thugs!
