7. I believe the original intent of the poster was to cite excess and the complaint of losing it.

Take the family's griping that they won't have the extra cash for piano lessons.

When I learned piano as a kid, for instance, I did it on my own without paying money to a tutor or spending it on classes. My mother wouldn't allow for such expenses having had to raise my sister and I on her own without the aid of a deadbeat husband.

That family cited is still in a great financial position even if the United States reverted back to the Clinton-era tax rates. Quite a lot of people, on the other hand, don't even have a job or a home. Yet they're worried about losing the little things?

Ideally, we wouldn't be in this situation. If the Repubs were reasonable, they'd be open to keeping the tax cuts for income earners under 250,000, but they seem dead set on keeping all the cuts for the rich.
