I feel it goes much deeper than laying blame to individual sections of society....ie: Wall St., Congress, the President......
I think, NO I KNOW, our culture, our society bears the FULL responsibility.
We are in our 3rd or 4th generation who feels "they/we deserve everything. They/we have NO responsibility for anything. They/we bear no blame for anything, its always someones elses fault. They/we care about nothing other than our latest whims and wants. They/we prepare for nothing, much less our later years feeling "someone" will take care of us. They/we believe health care is a god give right, not something we have to/should be paying for ourselves. Or that thieves and the like should not be judged too harshly, or punished too severely, UNLESS OUR OX IS GORED.
But above all we give absolutely no thought when given SOMETHING FOR NOTHING. Such a shame.
People with their hand out 24 hours a day.......
At some point the "piper has to be paid"....When that fact is made known and realized by all of us in today's culture, the answer will be "NOT ME".....I didn't do anything. Someone gave me a mortgage that I knew I couldn't aford, nor could I remotely pay it back.....IT'S THEIR FAULT....they knew.......
I am very happy not to be a part of the coming events that Doni has given a quite clear picture of what will be happening....I own my home, my vehicles free and clear....I have savings enough to not worry.....unless someone in power deems I have too much and wishes to "redistribute" my income to others who will accept the efforts of my lifetime without a thought and it will be their "just dessert"
I have lived a good life and don't want to see what my country, the country I didn't have to lock my front door when not home, when I knew my neighbor, (isn't it funny now, how well does anyone know their neighbor nowadays??) is seemingly becoming.
Somewhere inside me I think we still have enough Ayn Rand type people that will take a stand when it absolutely becomes necessary and turn the direction around we are now taking.
I hope to be a part of it.....
