That attitude just leaves me speechless.

Hmmm....lets see.

Bullsh*t.

Since 2001

Mortgage has increased by 34% due to property tax increases.
Electricity bill has increased by 112% due to 'fuel adjustments'
Gasoline bill has increased by 200% due to war mainly.
Natural Gas bill has increased by 425% due to 'fuel adjustments.'
Food bill has increased 125% (probably due to gas).

How are these attributable to the "choices" that I 'have made in life?'

Find a better paying job. Pick up a second job. Further your education. Cut back on your electricity use. Cut back on your automobile use or move closer to work. Move where the property taxes are less. There are plenty of thing you can do to adapt to the current situation. Being complacent and blaming others, which seems to be the direction you're taking in this discussion, is one of those choices as well.

People that have made responsible decisions throughout their lives will almost always weather the bad times. The number one reason why people are on welfare is because they had children out of wedlock and couldn't afford. That was their choice. Now they're broke living on assistance. People who are stuck in $8 an hour jobs are there because they blew off high school and didn't further their education through their own choice. People who never develop further skills to make themselves more marketable during a down spike in the economy lose their job because of that choice. Sure, there will be a few exceptions where someone truly is victimized, but in most cases you can trace someone's situation back to the choices they've made in life.

It has nothing to do with income and everything to do with inflation which is created by government.

Why should I have too? I am a business owner. Why should I have to work over 40 hours a week to 'maintain' my standard of living? Why should I have to pay more and more and more....and never get more in return? I would venture to guess that I make a sh*t load more money than you as well.

I am probably more educated than you....give it a rest.

Bullsh*t. I guess I could unplug my refrigerator and kill the AC. That would really be healthy for my kids.

When you own a home...you can't simply up and move. Try using your head. My mileage last year was less than 3000 miles.

I suppose I could sell my home right now and take a 30% hit on what I paid for it. That would be a real good financial decision don't you think? In order to move to a more 'conservative' part of my state would require that I travel more. How about that government live within it's means for a change instead of punishing productive members of society?

EVERTHING that is happening from the housing market to sky-rocketing fuel prices is due to the government. This is fact...not fiction. Costs of necessities increasing has NOTHING to do with choice. Telling someone who is by nature fiscally conservative and frugal to 'adapt' is pure sh*t.

Sophistry....spill that screed to the young republicans. Government needs to get a handle on their own actions.

I wouldn't know. I was never on welfare. I have been in the job force since before you could ride a bike.

I make far far more than $8. People seeing their savings dry up due to increases in necessities has nothing to do with minimum wage or job skills. I am NOT in the lowest tax bracket.

I am self employed. I have never stopped advancing my education, even to this day.

Sure....it was a bad decision NOT to get a government job to begin with. That seems to be the only way to get 'job security' and an increase in pay that isn't lambasted by political pundits as the 'cause of inflation.'

Edited to add....I doubt you'll be singing the same song in 10-15 years when you are 'less marketable' due to age.

Because everything that happens be it the War in Iraq, Discrimination, increase debt and so on.. are not just the fault of Politicians but everyone as we are the Government.

So as V says.. "If you are looking for the guilty, you need only look into a mirror"

It is inaccurate to say that I hate everything. I am strongly in favor of common sense, common honesty, and common decency. This makes me forever ineligible for public office.
