did you add "on" in order to express a future continuity of the situation?

FeuDRenais FeuDRenais June 29, 2011 June 29, 2011 at 2:43:10 PM UTC link Permalink

No, the "on" is more correct in my opinion.

"I can't support them on a worker's salary."

can be written as

"My worker's salary is not enough to support them on."

Don't know all the technicalities of the grammar here, but I believe this to hold.
