The real disconnect in this country is the difference between the growing masses of people who used to be able to make enough to just get by and then save a little bit. Slowly maybe every couple years they would take themselves and the kids on a vacation, maybe to Florida or something. Things weren't the greatest but there definately wasn't a reason to complain.
That was then, whenever that was......
Not that long ago but not that far in the past. Now, people are just, well kinda struck (for lack of a better word).
Most people I know myself included are noticing that nowadays, you don't even make enough to get by anymore. Instead.....
You make just a little under getting by so that you're in debt some months and have a tiny surplus some months. Definately not enough to think about savings or a vacation. Instead you're worried about how to pay your rent or your growing credit card bills.
How people can afford to have summer houses, luxury cars, or buy frivolous bullshit is absolutely beyond me. Some people can barely afford to live, and the sad thing is there just like me and you. And worse yet there growing in numbers by the hour.
I love America too, but we have to start admitting that some things are slightly broken and need fixing.
