No, I am not a socialist but maybe some folks will realize before the end of the universum that this is a major root cause of the current problems in the West.

The lowliest American peon if he/she/it/whatever is at least willing to work at something they can live better lives than kings of old as long as they don't make stupid decisions.



Take my sister for example. She was looking at mobile home listings recently. I pointed out that if she bought in a 55+ park where you own the share of the land you're parked on you only owe an HOA fee each month which is around $120 and covers most everything except electricity. Instead she was more interested in the mobile homes in the 55+ parks where you pay rent of $600 a month and don't own the land you're parked on. This is the same woman who can go to Kohl's and make $25 into $75 in purchases with coupons so I don't see why she doesn't get "it" on the bigger numbers. People are stupid, that's the real problem.
