I would just like to take a minute to present some facts for you.

The SSA reported yesterday that 50% of workers made less than $26,234 while the US gained 18% more millionaires in 2010.

It costs between $9,590 and $16,910 annually to raise a single child according to USDA data from 2009. Between $15,870 and $27,060 for two children.

Health insurance for a single person costs $4,824; $13,375 for a family.

Therefore, the potential cost to raise two children with health insurance is up to $40,435; or $14,211 more than what 50% of what a single worker made in the US last year.
