Work harder than whom? It's a matter of setting priorities as to how much time a person has to spend with their family. Is it more important to have certain things (cable TV, stereo system, cool new clothes) or to take the kids out for pizza? What do you really need and what is just luxury -- really? What kids want most is their parents' time and attention: priceless AND free. For that matter, how many families could actually afford to have a parent at home? Once you figure in daycare, an extra vehicle, gas, workclothes, meal expenses -- are you really making enough to be worth what you're sacrificing?

You're wrong. The people that create the Jobs for Hard Working Americans Work Hard too. If they didn't, people would be out of jobs because of the job creators irresponsibility. The harder you work, the more your paid, igf your working hard on the right thing. people wit no money don't want to give the money they have and people with no time don't want to give the time they have. But when they tithe time and money they get it back in return. try it and watch. and im not just talking aboutr giving to the church.

Because Hard Working Americans do not budget themselves correctly. By paying yourself first before paying all the bills (invest in money market funds etc.) you allow yourself to be able to have a nest egg to retire early and be able to do the things you want and spend the time you need with your family.

That's a question we all ask ourselves. I guess the more money we make the more money we spend. It comes down to living within our budget. I know our family are just started to live within our means.
Another reason is, what's the point in making money if we can't share it with family and friends. Use it to benefit ourselves, whats the use in having alot of money and sitting on it to when you retire and lament the fact that you could have done something with it and got enjoyment from it when you were young.

Unfortunately, those that have to work hard (phyiscal labor) for their money typically are not able to save money to have their money work for them.
This is why an education is very important. Learn to work smarter not harder and learn how to make your money work for you.

Because we pay taxes, insurance, education, costs, utility bills, mortgages, and support millions whose lazy @$$ won't get out and get a job.

Because they are busy buying "stuff" to show off to their friends.
