Everyone does. And the danger of saying there's "discretionary" income is that it assumes there's some standard and everything above that is "discretionary". For example, let's say someone makes $200k+ but pay for a house, car, and expenses for their parents and grandparents. Or they're saying for a Harvard education for their kids. Or an early retirement for themselves. Or they give 90% of their income to the church. Who are you to say what's discretionary and what isn't? Who is anyone? Therefore nobody is. Ideally we'd all be able to choose the healthcare we wanted and pay for it accordingly. That's likely not going to happen, though, but consumer driven health care is a good step in that direction however. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Upgrade to Adobe ColdFusion MX7 Experience Flex 2 & MX7 integration & create powerful cross-platform RIAs http:http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;56760587;14748456;a?http://www.adobe.com/products/coldfusion/flex2/?sdid=LVNU Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Community/message.cfm/messageid:227325 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.5
