Scalia: "you can't raise a family on 165K/yr"

Another gem from one of our favorite members of SCOTUS:
http://www.chron.com/disp/story.mpl/ap/nation/4399455.html

Sure, you can't raise a family on $165,000 a year-- how will you ever pay for those Swiss ski trips, Manolos for all the daughters, a new 700 Series BMW for the wife, the new spa addition to the 10,000 square-foot house?
Meanwhile, honest, hardworking Americans are working 2 and 3 jobs to make ends meeet-- to feed and clothe kids they may rarely see because of their long work hours. Families compromise their health eating fast food because it is often the only affordable alternative, and health care grows further and further out of reach.

Boy, Tony, you REALLY have your finger on the pulse of mainstream America!
