[quote=flu][quote=citydweller]I agree, it is thanks to people like flu, who really care about what is going on, that we enjoy abundance. My point was that flu does not seem to be enjoying this abundance we have. Instead, he is worrying about the “future”. I had a very wealthy grandfather but he never enjoyed his abundance and died worrying about the financial well being of his children and grandchildren. I wish I could go back in time and tell him “hey gramps, I’m doing fine, the world did not collapse, relax and enjoy”.[/quote]
Your gramps made it easier for you so you didn’t have to grow up in a third world country.
I don’t want my kid’s kid growing up asking me why my generation made this country into the richest third world country and why they were enslaved into mounds of debt from birth…[/quote]
Your kid is far more likely to live in a Third World country if we continue on the trajectory we’re on, thanks to “supply side” economics. The tremendous wealth/income gap is what distinguishes Third World countries and collapsing economies from more more developed nations.
Don’t take my word for it, do the research yourself instead of listening to the right-wing talking points (that have absolutely no data at all to back them up, BTW).
