Lincsong, we see the problem in microcosm right here in America every day. In point of fact, I think that is what got us in trouble with the real estate/mortgage crisis. Certain fools in our legislative branch want to make believe that we are all entitled to a nice house in the 'burbs. They believe that the barista at Starbucks, or the cashier at Burger King are entitled to the same benefits and rewards as someone such as myself, who invested 21 years earning a military pension and has worked my entire life at a variety of decent paying jobs, taking great care to spend wisely and save money, etc. I, by no means, intend to belittle these other folks, but the simple truth is, they haven't paid their dues and earned the rewards that I have. We cannot legislate these rewards to one and all, as Nancy Pelosi would have us believe. They must be earned thru hard work and sacrifice. In the real world, the rule is simple. If you don't work, you don't eat.
