I just love supporting people who have more nice stuff than I do. It makes me feel so good if could just crap.

I know what you mean, I became a conservative the day I read about public housing having central air conditioning and paying less rent than my house payment. I was sweating like a pig at the time because my little window unit had gone out and I had no money to get it fixed. Trying to sleep in the heat and then go to work was miserable. The thought that I was working, sweating and paying taxes so that others, who would not work, were kept comfortable made me an instant rabid right winger. I'll never forget that moment.

That's just half of it - because if you are not buying the goodies, but are instead putting the money away for retirement - just wait until you retire and they don't have the money to retire because they've spent it. Your money that you sacrificed to save will be "redistributed" to help those people, regardless of the fact that they bought instant gratification goodies instead of saving. Ever think that maybe "those people" are the smart ones?
