Reply #47: Well, because that's what always happens

When all the focus is on getting the money, it seems like they at the same time alwasy feel free to be stingy about money. I think what winds up happening is we're all expected to make "sacrafices", but, what I don't trust is who decided what is an acceptable limit.

I look at social security, and I mean really, who in their right mind wants our retired citizens or disabled to be in poor shape, WHO in their right mind would place them in poverty? But...it happened. Government programs can be heartless that way.

When it's all about money.

But no, me personally I don't need more than others to feel sucessful. I already DO have a lot more than a lot of people. Who here doesn't; we have electricity and we can read. What I worry about is a very difficult economy and shrinking resources that leave most of us without enough to survive very well.

We're REALLY going to need representation for the masses. We'll get run over if we don't. Just like we are now. But worse. I don't want to see anyone starve. I mean, I SINCERELY don't want anyone to starve.
