Ok - so spoiled brat = take him out and beat him, take his money away from him and burn it, or just "hang him"? I have 2 kids, sometimes they act like spoiled brats, should I drown them because of it? Should I take everything they have and make them suffer? Really? I think not!

Yes - he has lived beyond his reasonable means and now has to pay the price. OK - we all agree there. But what right does him complaining about what, in essence, is his own stupidity, gives others the right to claim he should have more taken away from him?

As Tater pointed out - where do you draw the line? Teacher, cops and firefighters don't get the raise they want, and that is national news - while the factory down the road from the school, police station and firehouse gets shut down and not one word about it. Does that not make the complainers "spoiled brats?"

Government workers on average make significantly more than workers doing the same type of job in the private sector. They get asked to contribute to their own retirement, or made to pay a deductable or premium for their health plan (which private sector workers have to do already), and you have mobs in the various state capital buildings... Dont even mention tying their wages to the private sector! But somehow they are not "spoiled brats"? Or are they - and if they are - shouldn't we take their money and burn it in the streets, or beat them, or just hang them too?

Can't have it both ways.....
