WHEN $35,000 WAS A BIG INCOME!

      This past week I was watching a particular Congressman talking about the upcoming Tax Bill and how it would drastically effect a family making $70,000 or $35,000 each spouse. And, he described this family as being in the lower end of the income or tax scale.

        Boy, that made me feel old once more. "Why I remember"---when a good friend of mine way back in the late 1970's was taking a position as Manager of a large wholesale drug company in Minneapolis, Minnesota. His salary was going to be $35,000! All of his friends were "OOHING AND AAHING!" Time marches on!
