Agreed. We are a ponzi economy in general....How about we all save for retirement and if you starve at 80, you saved poorly....or you treat your family well b/c they are the ones who will or will not take care of you. Not Uncle Sugar Daddy Sam.

I see you are at the Bullet-Proof stage in your life. I was once there and have seen a lot of people THROUGH NO FAULT OF THEIR OWN fall on hard times. My empathy factor has grown accordingly. If I were a betting man I would bet you eventually follow the same path.

Hardly. The realism phase. Many in my family have had hard times. The difference is, are the hard times a result of their own decisions, or the corporately owned govt we have...I have sympathy for those who deserve it. Last I looked 70% of the population surveyed think their children will have less opportunity than they did in life. No thanks, when you have children you realize that there has to be a major change in the way we do things in this country. That starts with realizing that money doesn't grow on trees and those who have run the middle class into the ground in this country will get their just rewards.

Is this a religion thing because I don't see it happening. I do agree with everything else you say here 100%.
