        @USATODAY You could help at least one person out of poverty by hiring them to proofread your tweets.

        @USATODAY You still couldn't make it, do the math! I'm a conservative but the minimum wage should be raised to at least $10 hr.

        “@USATODAY pic.twitter.com/VjDnlqbdZh” so you can escape poverty raising two kids on $400 a week? Really? Childcare alone wipes that out.

        @USATODAY Do everything in your power to not get into that situation. Continued bad choices eventually lead down that path. Help limited.
