Everyone wants something for nothing. That will be the death of us all I’m afraid. Hang on tight. The ride is about to get very, very rough.

You can’t say we don’t pay our taxes.

Yup. Truly believe you are correct and glad I'm heading in the back stretch.

I have a very simple explanation for the deteriorating economic status of the USA and most of Europe and why we will fail as the East grows more dominant:

Accomplishment, effort, and pride in work ethic has been replaced by laziness, self-aggrandizing, and unwarranted expectations from others who have the former.

Europe is our template nowadays. We will fail as they are now. But hey, we had a good run, didn't we?
