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

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 can't listen to the audio at work.

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.

Because books.
Wait, people have money left over after they feed their families?!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Oh god, it's brilliant. [link] She says, Your business made $6.3 million. He says, Sure, but after I pay the employees, etc., my takehome is only a fraction of that -- $600K. So then by the time he feeds his family, he only has $400K left to reinvest in the business.

BECAUSE IT COSTS $200K TO FEED HIS FAMILY.

And he seems to have no idea that what he just said is "let them eat cake"?
