Sorry to be cruel, but a high paying job is not a right nor guaranteed. It is not in the Constitution.

Um-hmm. Very true. Then again, I don't believe there is any constitutional requirement that we pay our bills - we could, quite constitutionally, simply default.

Which is what will happen if the tax base gets devastated, as it is doing.

I'll let you have the honor of telling our creditors, domestic and foreign, to quite whining.

When the bozos who happily drill out the bottom of the boat for the sake of a quick shower start saying they are "sorry to have been cruel", why that brings a little ironic smile to the rest of us, for their own foolish inanity seems to makes their own demise, well, *crueler*, and it's a sort of a cruel joke to be enjoyed when few others can be.

And it gives less pause to step on their shoulders and push them down under to save ourselves, for that cruel and ignorant heart they showed.
