Welcome the Poor House!

I'm living in Bizarro World and I don't like it!

Since when do hard-working, fiscally responsible people get f'd over by their leaders by having to foot the bill for out-of-control corporate greed that bankrupts the country, and to pay down the messes of delusional ignoramuses who thought they could afford a McMansion on a minimum wage salary? Since now!

If you live in America and you work hard and live within your means, then you are f'd! There is absolutely no incentive to do the right thing. I'm one of the poor bastards who scrimped and saved - instead of going out to dinner or taking elaborate vacations - who must now take care of the people who did not save their pennies, but lived beyond their income brackets. To me this is just plain un-American.

We weren't born rich. We made personal sacrifices to send our children to safe, parochial schools and now on top of paying full price for college (because our savings are too substantial to qualify for financial aid), we also now must bail out corporate bandits who robbed their investors blind. Unbelievable!

Hum - that doesn't sound like democracy. It sounds like Communism or socialism or communitarian (which by-the-way didn't survive). America, a country, once proud and strong, now weak and spoiled. I am really pissed off about this. I feel like my entire adult life has been flushed down the toilet and that everything I worked hard to achieve is being taken away, outside my control.

I wish there was a Simple, Simple solution to this major, major situation. I wish I could remain positive while Rome burns around us. I wish I knew how to make lemonade out of these lemons. I don't. I know, this is a major whine. So, please pass the cheese... thanks.
