batman, "get a better job?" i have a great job but i also pay $3500 for health care that only pays a portion of the bill. " pay more for education? i have to pay $3000 a year for real estate taxes on a house that's worth $160,000. not to mention the fica taxes, medicare taxes, the gas taxes, utility taxes, federal income tax, state income tax, sales tax for everything i buy, the special assesment tax, local sales tax, just to name a few. how much more do we have to pay for deadbeats. the US work ethic is "if you don't work you get everything paid for by the government. i should say paid for by us. Bush signs into law that all idiots who took out ARM loans and can't afford it can now write off any write downs taken by the lending institution and their ARM's will now be frozen for 5 years. we reward the losers in this country. not the hard working people.
