What if the government forced you to pay taxes and then gave that money to banks 9Who own those Credit Card Companies) because they were in danger of collapsing but were deemed "too big to fail" and then you find out the government is so far in debt (and getting in deeper every day) that you children's grand children will still be paying on that debt with their tax dollars when they are senior citizens?
One persons moral failings are not an excuse for your moral failings. “Everybody’s doing it so it’s ok”.
Look I’m not being high and mighty here. I’ve had no money. Lived in dangerous neighborhoods where PD drags people out in the night, my car is broken into multiple times, women mugged outside my window and the bastard is gone before I can get there, no heat in the middle of a northern winter. I get it.
For most of my life I’ve been an employee. Then I went out on my own. For the past x years I’ve signed the front of the paycheck and not just the back. It puts a whole new perspective on things.
We should all strive to act morally. If we don’t then the whole system falls apart.
Evaluate your circumstances and determine what you can pay, no matter how “small”, and pay it.
