You get funnier and funnier the more you whine.

So now you're claiming to have children [plural] who you are raising on your minimum wage salary.

I guess it never occurred to you to get a better job to provide for your own kids.

Don't hurt yourself in your confusion.

What makes you think my children are still little? Friend, I've been voting since before you were born. lol

I took a few minutes to contemplate your nonsense.

If you were born in 1970 you could have been a full time nurse or big city fire fighter by 1990, and been retired with a 30 year pension. That would have been enough to pay for two 'minimum wage' plus raise your family with things like optical and dental care.

By your words you failed your own family, failed to help more than a tiny handful of children, and are currently useless to any potential grandchildren except as a horrible example of arrogance and failure.

I actually hope you're just a troll, because I hate the idea of someone as stupid as that inflicting their silliness on an unprotected child.
