Believe me...I'm not bitter...I take responsibility for myself, my family and my finances...all are choices that I have to make and that I bear consequence for. I got no problem with that. However, the current financial burden, and degredation of American society suffered by all sane, patriotic, and non-hyphenated Americans was perpetrated and created by FDR and LBJ socialists. I am bitter about that, simply because I am not the only one that will have to deal with it...but my kids...and my kid's kids as well.
Perhaps you are just whiney then. And you also make far too many broad generalizations.
And degredation is actually spelled degradation.
