28. why do we have to coddle these people?

We need to do more than this, we need to raise taxes on their first 250,000 as well. RAISE TAXES to Eisenhower rates for the top 20% or so.

They put two wars on the credit card, two Big Government programs on the credit card....while giving themselves a tax cut or two.

They need to pay for their purchases.

They cannot expect our children to pay off their debts.

That is how it works.

When you owe one of these rich entitled jackasses money for more than two days, they raise your interest rates to 30%, they send the collections agency after you....they do anything and everything to get their money and then some.

Why aren't we doing more to protect future generations from the vultures and looters?

We need to stop coddling the rich. They need to pay off their credit card now.
