You have to either be an evil fuck or dumb as shit to think that 4 decades of stagnant wages don't have anything to do with 78% of people living paycheck to paycheck. Lets find a few and go through their monthly incomes vs expenses, you'll find just like government, there is a spending problem, not a revenue problem. But I gotta have a boat. You know what buy a kayak instead. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
