Do you find yourself working for some people who have high salaries and are not concerned about your welfare? Do your children have a promising future? Are you naive enough to believe propaganda that allows laws that takes away your wealth you worked so hard for?

Also I realize people in other countries think we got it good, but actually we have falling standards of living here and it makes it catastrophic for our finances to try to adjust. We are hard workers who were told we had rights and we paid taxes all our working lives (i worked since 13yrs old), sorry about communist places...get out of there! And, I'm talking about USA here.

Living in a communist country as I do, I think that you have a slightly wrong perspective on the concept that workers have the freedom to take away the capital from the companies that give them a job and wages. You work for a company that generates profits to the people that have worked hard to be part of that company....savings....a company is built on ideas and cash...hard cold cash...and employees are paid by their merit to the overall health of such a business. It is naive to think that every dollar coming to a business should be squandered by pay-outs. There are maintenance, taxes, advertisements, promotions and projections costs that must be considered as well as a capital reserve to sustain the company during recessions and slow-downs. You see only the down side of the business, when good business has to bring up the good side. I work for a company that was able to make a 17 billion dollar offer on an American company...cash.....that takes a lot of savings and a lot of hard work....and here in China where the monthly pay is about $150 US so I guess we are doing something right. You probably have a car, a house, etc etc......we don't but 25% of our pay is in savings...we virtually have no credit card debt....so we are poorer but perhaps wiser.

They say that Life isn't supposed to be Fair. At least you have the Freedom of Choice - you can change employers at will and you can move at will.

True wealth comes from within, money can buy houses and cars and comforts but it cant buy love, health and happiness. Which would you rather have?

Unfortunately every country does that, I think governments get to a point where they lose interest in their people and just see them as another money resource.

Our system isn't perfect but it is still better than any other system in the world.
Dems want you to share your wealth. Don't forget that.

Yeah, but you eventually get over it. No harm, no foul, right.

In some cases, yes.
Peace.
