I probably shouldn't comment either because I was going to say that you look really good in your LJ icon. Sorry about the family stuff. I try to sell myself as a grade A flake so that when I can't visit all the time they just figure I got bored.
That's totally toolish. Hopefully it's based on ignorance, not complete disrespect for your time and income. :(
Have you tried explaining to him that because he's married he may spend more on some things but many of his costs are halved? Or that he apparently has the time to visit with you but is too busy to *come* visit with you? Where's the sense in that?
I would also bring up that "she's on unemployment and having a party, I've got less money than she does even though I'm working my ass off," point. It's very good.
Hang in there. Family is a total blind spot for most people--they expect a lot from them, and don't consider what they're giving in return.
