We are all the "hard working middle class". The difference between you and me is I'm going to work smarter, reallocate my time and resources in a way that saves me $$$, time and resources in the end. If that isn't a feasible reality, then I don't know what is. If you want to have pity on the people that do nothing to better themselves and use it as an excuse to create a government full of regulation and "financial equality for all" then you may want to look at the Socialist party.
It's the same thing with the god damn mortgage situation. "HELP! I BOUGHT A HOUSE I COULDN'T AFFORD! NOW I MAY HAVE TO SELL IT! HOW UNFAIR!!!"
Or the classic "OH MY GOD, I DIDN'T READ THE MORTGAGE I SIGNED, NOW I FUCKED MYSELF AND NOBODY IS TO BLAME BUT ME! SOMEONE SAVE ME FROM LOOSING MY 2800 SQUARE FOOT MCMANSION!"
Welcome to WELFARE.
So what exactly is your plan? How will you deal with a recession, increased fuel prices across the board and a job market in the shitter? If you think it's not coming, you are the dillusional one.
Senior citizens? Do you have any idea what senior citizens have done for the past 100 years in our country? They sell their homes and move in with family or get an apartment! Oh wait, that's not fair, right? WHY NOT? The ones that were smart enough saved money and can take care of themselves. The ones that didn't? Well, guess what? You have to take care of yourself or your family foots the bill. All my grandparents had to ditch their houses eventually. It's a reality of life. I'm assuming by your statements that you FEEL that a senior citizen that has no money left is ENTITLED to keep his/her home.
If I had no money, I'd sell my house. Sure beats taking charity.
People have families? Yup, they sure do. They are responsible for them too. |
waitaminute mr. worksmarty. what would you call those lendingscammers? the working smart type? a lot of people are trusting?(what's the word for that?). if you dont lend them money in the first place, what the hell can they do? shoot somebody? they're not reckless like drunk driving. there should be law for reckless anything.
some people ask when they don't have but guess what nobody's putting pistol to your head if you don't reach out. they will go somewhere else. Mexico maybe. if you were to run for president what would you say to those non-working smart people? tell them to work smart? but how? i guess living the american dream isn't about just working hard.
for senior citizens "...that were smart enough saved money and can take care of themselves." it doesn't matter. soon they're not gonna be able to wipe themselves and after that last breath.
