I just hope that quote gets repeated loudly and often.
And don't you ever stand for that sort of thing. Someone ever tries to kill you, you try to kill 'em right back! ... You got the right same as anyone to live and try to kill people.

That's never going to be not funny, is it?

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
I didn't think people said stuff like that out loud.

I can only imagine it will. Are people really that clueless? Well, of course they are. I'm just saying, I'm careful what I say in public, and nobody gives a crap or quotes me (much). I only wish I had to be so sensitive as to not whine about my meager, leftover $400,000. I could totally be sensitive about that, Universe. Just sayin'.
He was saying he only has $400,000 personal income right? Not, I only have $400,000 with which to pay my employees their salaries, benefits, and to reinvest in my business, right?

Good lord.
Give or take a few decimal points, I know exactly how he feels.
Yeah.

He could mean that. It isn't clear from the quote.

Yeah, I just went over and looked. He sort of means personal income. His point was that, while his businesses pulled in $6.3 million:
Fleming responded by saying that while his businesses made $6.3 million last year, after you “pay 500 employees, you pay rent, you pay equipment, and food,” his profits “a mere fraction of that” — “by the time I feed my family, I have maybe $400,000 left over.”
OK, he actually seems to say he makes $600,000 net income, then ends up with $400,000 to reinvest. So, I guess his take-home is $200,000 from his businesses.
