[QUOTE="sjh, post: 1170723, member: 41657"] Just scraping by? No, we just prioritize. We have fun, trust me. But doing the fun stuff requires that we don't do cable, or drive a fancier car, and we have to SAVE. Our tax return does not buy fancy new toys...it goes into our savings account. Like others have said, corporate greed has gotten ridiculous. In places like Australia and Europe, many business owners live in normal houses and live average lives. They don't abuse their employees like employers in America. However, way too many people are reliant on the government for aid, and that is crippling our country. Go ahead and tell me its because of low wages...but if you're carrying around a cell phone with a data plan, driving a car that's less than 5 years old, eating fast food more than twice a week, and buying unnecessary electronics, please don't blame your lack of money on other people. Live on a budget that requires a few sacrifices and THEN complain. And when that happens, I'll side with you. But people in Africa live on less than $2 a day and have dirt floors and eat one meal a day - usually cassava mush or rice and beans. They're probably thinking of us Americans as greedy. "Do they really need two cars per family? And three meals a day plus snacks plus drive thru food? You mean to tell me that ALL have clean beds? And I've never seen a movie, but they watch them every day?" Perspective, guys. And for the record, if you're working a full time job AND are on welfare, you're breaking the law. Just saying. ;) [/QUOTE]
