No that's the fancy German dream (formerly the Guatemalan nightmare)

Inflation has almost doubled since The Simpsons started airing.

I dunno fellas, I feel like working at a nuclear power plant might offer a bit more pay.

>while you were out 'earning' that dollar you missed out on forty dollars by missing work
homers gets 40$ for 8 hours of work. That's like, 5$/hr ? BEFORE taxes? What a fuck
Evan Roberts
Not bad for a weekly wage in the 90s, especially in a flyover city with low cost of living.
Caleb Wilson
americans dont have dreams, they just consume until they fall asleep
Brody Rodriguez

I'm actually startled to learn Homer's IRL salary is pretty low according to google. He and Marge really would be struggling to raise 3 kids.
Xavier Morgan
Check your math, its closer to $12/hr.
Andrew Murphy
5$ times 8 hours = 40 dollars. hmmmm
Samuel Wilson
The American dream is to own his own farm in the countryside.
Bentley Perry
Where the fuck are you getting $40 for 8 hours? Christ

After tax (net pay) is high $300s, cursory adding of all the taxes and fees puts the weekly wage to around $500, divided by 40 is 12.

Did you guys even read the original quote?
Homer says he found a dollar waiting for the bus.
marge says "while you were out earning that dollar you missed 40 dollars by not going into work today. The plant called and said if you don't come into work tomorrow to not bother coming in monday either"
"woohoo four day weekend"
Homer missed out on 40$ by not going into work. What. The. Fuck.

What's FICA? Why are federal taxes so much higher than state? I assumed it would be the other way around in a country like America.

>read the original quote
I didn't want the fucking episode and it was never posted here, so the script writers made a typo what's the fucking problem
Austin Bell
Differs from state to state. My state doesnt have income tax at all
Dylan Ortiz
What? No, read my original quote that quoted the show. I was talking about how he made 40$ in one day so that equals 5$/hr before taxes and people didn't understand that. Of course now I realize you guys were talking about the OP photo but that shouldn't matter when I was directly quoting a different episode talking about his salary. It was the episode where Homer sells sugar.
Isaac Cook
$12 an hour is not bad. Springfield looks like a cheap town, so his mortgage can’t be over $400-600.

90% of nuclear power plants are in the middle of nowhere, so not really.
Chase Robinson
Lousy bear tax
Brody Price
No mortgage, bought outright by stealing from Grandpa
Brayden Ross
Huh, I make more than him after inflation but just barely.
Julian Clark
Homer isn't actually health and safety qualified, that was a bribe to get him to end strike action. I doubt he makes that level of pay
Kevin Rodriguez
But they also say they have taken a comically large number of mortgages out on the house throughout the series
Angel Johnson
Sneed.
Juan Garcia
No its decent middle class pay. It's the equivalent of what Europoors pay Achmed to fuck their wives
