I would think that most people in Lakewood do have some taxable income. How else are they affording the affluent lifestyles?

in order to use the car deduction you must be itemizing which means even if you pay tax- does not mean you are itemizing.

Sounds good but the wife's salary would have to be closer to 40k. At 50-60 they lose the EIC, $10k of food stamps etc.

+1, show me a lady in Lakewood making over 40K a year doing any special ed.

So it's 40k - tuition is deducted strait to the schools.
And these are not real numbers

We should call CVS corporate and ask them to reconsider. This store was really a great convenience.

+1, but they're probably using inside data to determine that it wasn't worth it for them.

It's a tremendous convenience. But now that I think about it,anytime I was there late it was pretty empty. At times both employees are outside on break because there are no customers.

[cholent]

Speech is higher

Not much more, and then they lose eligibility for all programs
