By the time I’m done paying all my bills, I will not have enough left to pay for car repairs, extra medical care, the leaking roof, and good seasonal produce. I have cut back on everything. I buy nothing new except underwear. The last time I ate out was six months ago at a Chinese buffet for $7.

I don’t need idiots like you to lecture me. You have no idea how the lower economic classes live. You’re probably one of those rightwingers who thinks unemployment insurance is so wonderful that people would rather sit home and collect 25% of what they used to earn instead of finding another job. You do know that there are no jobs, don’t you?

It all adds up to….. WE CANNOT COMPETE as so much is being paid to those who don’t produce anything!

Citizens would revolt if a qualified trade – electrician, plumber, and others – wanted $200 an hour but they gladly pay “$xxx” to watch an athlete who,at a paltry $5 million a year earns $570 / hour, even when asleep! Most politicians are whores, so they aren’t much help.

It’s time to forget about who’s the biggest and has the most, and concentrate on being the best at whatever we do. From Walt Kelly’s cartoon character, Pogo(1948-1975): “We have seen the enemy and it is us.”
