So let's go over this for the "Reading Comprehension" challenged. Nebe asked a question, how much does a person need to make to pay the mortgage on a $480k house. Pay the mortgage is the important part

 So Spence, in some kind of liberal induced form of Tourettes shouts out $100 an hour. Nothing based on fact, just what he feels is a good round number.

 I referred to it as hyperbole, which is what it is, just something made up to make a point. $100 an hour by the way is $208,000 a year.

 Nebe calls it "Truth", well then it should be able to be supported by facts

 So I plugged it into a mortgage calculator and worked out the numbers needed to "pay the mortgage" (which was the question asked) and it comes out to about $14 dollars an hour, leaving $86 an hour for the rest of life's little incidentals. 86. Dollars. An. Hour

No, I meant hyperbole

 So then Nebe elevates himself to a place of superiority because he has to be smarter than the rest of us because he couldn't comprehend the above post

 And then he invokes, what I can only guess is that New Math I've heard so much about, and tries to say that $14 an hour is 100% of a $100 an hour salary. Either that or it's that pesky reading comprehension thing again

 Which I question him on because, you know, it doesn't make sense. Which makes me question his math skillz

Math wasn’t your forte in high school, was it

 Which calls into question my reading comprehension skillz, I'm pretty sure I answered the question that was originally asked the way it should have been answered

 And then Spence adds a bunch of life's little roadblocks that really don't have anything to do with the actual cost of the mortgage. Which really doesn't justify the other, unaccounted for, $86 an hour
