Blah blah blah - always folks who will be upset about anything and while they cry "NIMBY", they say OK as long as it's others who are affected and they manage to avoid any inconveniences.

Dram a Queen stuff "screw kids/grandkids for time..." does nothing to address the fact that we have all become our own personal welfare babies by becoming addicted to government handouts designed to make us beholden to the government. My wife and I bought withing our means and never paid enough to benefit from the tax breaks - others with a lot more money struggled because they bought at the top of their perceived means and even the breaks didn't give them enough slack to be comfortable and plan for retirement.

We have all become so accustomed to government "largess" (like a drug dealer hooks users) that any perceived "gonna take sumpin away" creates panic instead of a question about whether that sumpin is even constitutional and whether it actually helps or hinders for the long term...

Right back at you buddy.

Blah, blah, blah.

The next issue on FR that you post that you care about, and that burns you or ones you love - I hope all other Freepers just tell you to quit your whining. Blah, blah, blah.

My parents worked damn hard to accumulate their wealth...their corporation paid taxes. They paid income taxes. Using your logic..why should their estate pay taxes on wealth already taxed and paid for when they earned it.

“We have all become so accustomed to government “largess”

When government takes less of our money, that’s “largess”?

You speak as if it’s the governments money and we’ve luck to keep any of it.

Exactly. I bought a cheap house and maxed out my retirement savings. Can’t eat drywall.
