"And they say our economy's bad"

Not really; well it all depends on what you do and how you do it. For example; Ricky Huddleston, 2000 in McAlester, Oklahoma ,was a Rodeo Cowboy who made $103,000. In 2012 he's making $45,000 as a Road Maintenance Supervisor. “You have to do well to get paid. You have to win,” he says. “I broke my elbow and that slowed me down, so I gradually quit.” Bruce Shcactler; a Commercial Fisherman, makes $120,000, when in 2003 he was only making $40,000. Back then he was only a Fisherman, (guess he's legit now lol). And Malia Delapenia, a Hawaiian native also a Belly Dancer :-), was making $10,000 in 2006. Now she's making $65,000 a year.
