Or you could answer questions regarding your baseless claims. You're the one making absolute statements with no proof to back them up...
You are a baseless cheerleader...whom ive always bent over backwards to be respectful too...Im respectful to everyone until they are disrespectful to me..
Really? None at all? People have managed their budgets so well and cut out waste so well and eliminated extraneous expenses SO WELL that they are now so destitute that they cannot pay for "necessities" with anything but credit? Really?
This isn't 1930, stop being a drama queen.
I'm actually not protecting anyone. I treat people the same across the board. You problem is you want to rage against people that want to take your freebies away. Then turn around and pretend you have some sort of right to it. It would be hilarious if it wasn't for the shear amount of hypocrisy that makes me face palm.
A lot of people have it really hard right now, nor do people budget for everything single thing... like my father who was hit by a drunk driver and is now disabled. Instead of trying to find with such people, just be thankful you can't relate.
Everybody needs somebody to blame. It's the rich, the tea party, politicians, a specific party, a specific business, whatever the problem du jour is..they'll find an enemy to blame it all on.
Ok... you're right, the OP did attack the the TP, but then a lot of other people attacked these folks in the middle class. Why attack either or? I honestly think the headline is a fairly common symptom and I'd expect it in this market. The OP was trying to make it slant it differently... Yes, some folks have it rough. Others are lucky.... it is what it is.

Your father is an exception, you realize that, right? Not every person living on credit cards is in that position because of something completely and entirely out of their control...and, again, I'm willing to be a lot of them don't NEED to, but are unwilling to compromise a little luxury in order to be financially sound.
My neighbor across the street...was an over the road driver with a company for 14 yrs.. he lives with his 80 yr old dad...who makes a WHOPPING 810.oo in social security...total income...he supports his dad and himself ever since i moved here...he was laid off for lack of work...he was on unemployment and exhausted his savings..and couldnt make his mortgage payments...I know hes been actively seeking work...hes off unemployment and makes LESS than he was on unemployment working for officemax delivering office furniture and supplies...hes a good man him and his father and I just lent him 5 grand to catch up on his mortgage so he doesnt lose his house.....theres SOO MANY PEOPLE in that boat right now...but the callous rich bastards have no understanding of it because they are so far removed from that kind of pain...so they come on here and spout their teaparty horse****, what they are is spoiled haves that dont have a single clue what its like to be working class in this country right now today...they have the ordasity to endlessly whine that public workers and workers entitlements are killing the country and ACCEPT NO BLAME themselves...when you mention jobs in china...you recieve a deathly silence and a subject change...when you mention that corporations out of greed made china a thirdworld country into OUR greatest security threat...you get a deathly silence and some reference that social security and medicare is killing the country. When you tell them corporation profits are sky high and the rich have gotten richer they make some exclamation that public workers make too much.
They are chock full of **** right up to their deep brown eyes and im sick of them selling their snotty crap...
It's easy to tell other people how to live or what "luxury" they can live without... The OP can just as easily make those judgments for the rich, and declare they could live on less too.
You simply don't know what it's like to be in there shoes. We live in an economically free society and have a free market, in which individuals choice what to live with and without.
Your dad is not the exception anymore shewolf...theres millions out of work for YEARS now that have to eat...they have no more unemployment benefits...they work partim and take hom 150 bucks...they cant pay their utilities and they cant buy food and are using their credit cards...
The well off are so damned ignorant to whats REALLY GOING ON OUT HERE...record foreclosures, people losing thier homes that have no jobs that cant pay rent...
Is it possible that you doing well people can be so CLUELESS or is it you dont give a **** and your heartless....
Anyone that make the statement that one mans situation thats causing him to use credit for essentials is an exception...is clueless to the reality of todays america...

I make under 30k a year. I was raised on welfare and foodstamps. I wore used clothes, ate expired food from church donations, had lice we couldn't afford to get rid of. I dealt with gallstones the size of golf balls for 8 years because the medicaid payouts wouldn't cover the sonogram that would have diagnosed the problem because some stupid little chart they had said that I was too young for such ailments and that a sonogram was medically unnecessary. I have most CERTAINLY been on the low end of the spectrum.
That doesn't mean I have to act like the world is ending when it isn't.
Your shoes, their shoes.... I'd feel the same about somebody making judgments about your life or past situations. You were on welfare and went without medical treatment. Other people may feel it's more acceptable to rack up credit card debt than apply for welfare or they might not qualify to apply. Other people wouldn't go without medical treatment despite the cost...
Everybody has to make difficult choices to make in life. Your choices should not be respected any more or less.
If you think the tea party is raging now, you're in for a big surprise because you ain't seen nothing yet. This administration's repeated attempts to stimulate the economy have failed to produce significant results and are partly at fault for rising prices. QE has weakened the dollar, and Obama's unprecedented spending and the still lifeless recovery has us in a debt crisis.This is the lowest Ive ever seen the middleclass in my lifetime, the worst postion they have ever been in...and the teaparty keeps RAGING how they need to rip the genitals off public workers and Abolish social security and medicare...
This is the most disgusting display of greed in my lifetime also...and I pray it all backfires and blowsup in their faces.. This is truly dispicable

Prices are going up and wages are going nowhere (hello 70's?). So what to do about inflation? Typically, you raise interest rates to combat inflation, but that will only exacerbate the debt crisis -- we're already running trillion dollar deficits and an uptick in interest rates will only make things worse. And if you think home prices suck right now, how much do you think climbing interest rates are going to help?
Maybe things will go your way and social security will be "saved" as it keeps paying that $1200 each month. Your delight may be short lived though when you find out that $1200 doesn't buy nearly as much as it used to, your house is worth even less than it is now, and... dare we bring up that nest egg that you were promised would bring a comfortable retirement over decades of compound interest?
I wouldn't want to be Obama right now. Hell, I wouldn't want to be Obama's replacement, either.

Though if he's not much of a people person, I hear the average trash collector still pulls in $75k:

Yes you are...stop cheerleading for the rich which I would bet you are not one of
If you think we can tax the rich out of this mess, you haven't bothered to do the basic math and are in for a big surprise. One way or another, the good people who requested all of this spending are either going to have to give it up, or pay for it themselves.Your the one in for a surprise taylor...the teaparty supporters couldnt get rand paul elected to used prophylactic picker upper....the rich collectively have nothing for votes...when the working class turns on ya...its all down hill....and trust that they WILL eventually...then your teaparty is over
Consumers in the U.S. are increasingly using credit cards to pay for basic necessities as income gains fail to keep pace with rising food and fuel prices.

The middle class who used to rely on their homes as savings have seen their home value plummet to where their mortgages are higher than worth of their houses..
