[I got the rope]

Interesting. Here's an observation that is really bothering ME right now:
There is a steady shift of resources (taxes) being sent to the oldest in our nation. It is in the form of social security, medicare, prescription drugs, etc. This shift along with the rapid increase in health care has caused a lowering of the standard of living for my family. I have 3 kids under 5. I will make less next near...even though I had a 4% raise and a 5% bonus on a 57K a year salary. My insurance costs have increased enormously. Why?
It seems the more government regulates the worse it gets for people like me. Statist lawyers and judges are killing the middle class in my opinion. The law is being manipulated to their advantage on all fronts, and we get stuck holding the bill.

Anyway...I'm tired and rambling, but what I need to say is that I feel that the young people of middle america are losing the most right now. Handouts to old voters are lower the standard of living for middle class children. Hmmm...maybe because they don't vote!

There should be a moratorium on lawyers in Congress for the next few years. I bet things will shape right up.
