Lets get a couple of things straight, I have never posted anything vulgar or uncivil, am I being uncivil to you? Second, I am not sure why people assume, Whining? I am merely stating a fact, how does one state a fact in your world without coming across as whining? So in point of fact it is not arrogant. To clarify I have never received a raise, I have received cost of living increases and to get those I have to give up things. You never answered my question.
