fed up with the set up
so while i try to ignore the majority of banter the middle aged soccer moms spew during my night classes, i was rather annoyed by a verbal out burst of dierahia in tonights class. this woman was complaing about the economy and how the government supports people. she was irate with the idea that the government would allow individuals to retire by providing minimal finanical aid. now, i honestly consider myself moderate. i usually find myself in middle grown, but her ignornat comment pissed me off. i'm not suggesting that the government support its people 110% and allow for everyone to sit around and play wii, but what's so wrong with a little help now and then? i'd personally rather my money go towards my fathers retirement than to the death of soliders in iraq.

I agree. I don't mind helping people out and find that as a country that has so much, we are selfish about helping our own. That woman in your class doesn't realize how close she is to needing help from the govt. Everyone these days is one step away from losing a job, having a health issue, whatever -- and what will they do when they need the help they criticize others for receiving.
