By definition, saving means living below one's means. Good luck with that if you are living paycheck to paycheck or worse.

I guarantee you I can find 10% to cut out of anyone's budget that is taking home a paycheck.

No luck required, but some consider many things necessities that are not. They should suffer for their judgement, but via politics they can avoid much of the pain.

No doubt.

But you don't get to be President by citing that fact.

You get to be President by explaining how you will expand that paycheck to cover those "many things necessities". Remember, it's not about needs, it's about wants.

Recall, from 2012, when Mittens famously got surreptitiously videoed lecturing a table of fat cat donors about the 47% who pay no federal income tax and are dependent on the federal teat?

Mittens missed an opportunity. It was a teachable moment. Professor Romney should have used it to explain how conservative governance would enable those in the 47% who want to (no doubt most of them) to graduate to the ranks of the 53% pulling the wagon. But, sadly, he blew it. For him, conservatism is a second language, in which he is not fluent. He had the ego, but not the talent.
