Don't worry Fraulein Von Bonny, the rich will provide you with bread crusts and water, and other necessities for your old age.

Rich? YOu think we are RICH?

HAAAAAAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHA that's funny

I suppose we are rich... just not in the way you think we are. We don't have a large home... we are currently busting out of the humble house we currently have. but it's our home and we love it (even with all the stuff that seems to be breaking lately). We don't have unlimited funds to do whatever we please. But we have love and family and laughter. We are rich in life but not in the bank. We live comfortably... and sometimes we struggle between paychecks.

To think that we are "rich snobs who don't want to help anyone" because we don't support government programs that don't actually HELP anyone get back on their feet is laughable at best.

I actually think welfare and such programs have ruined the sense of community and reaching out to them for help. there was a time where everyone knew their neighbors and if a neighbor or friend was in need people would step up and help in any way they could. Now it seems most people don't even KNOW their neighbors and if someone needs help... well isn't that what welfare is for? they are taking such a large chunk from people by force that it seems to be starting the trend of "well it's not MY problem... the government will deal with it" and that is a sad state of affairs.

well considering the Von Bonny comment followed by the rich letting her have bread crusts it wasn't really a big leap for me to connect them

if that wasn't what you were saying then I'm sorry

Wom was joking with me. I don't mind.

Your right about those credit cards people buy stuff but don't think about how they are going to pay them off & the out of this world interest charged to them if they don't pay up. Then there was the big housing boom that went bang, buying something with an interest rate out of this world once again & keeping up with the Jones up the street.

I don't like the government running my life either. Politicans make promises & don't keep them. People are suckers for their promises.

The waste in this country is unbelievable. They use to make stuff to last a long time.

The rich are getting richer & don't care about the poor. They are to busy being greedy.

I think we are all on the same page but view it differently maybe because of age, experience, education? I look at it as a learning experience how other people view life.

I would prefer to have some marmalade jam on my bread crusts & milk please.
