    LOL. Again, you have no intelligent reply.

    My 3 degrees are from brick and mortar schools that are well thought of, accredited universities and among the best in my degree areas of Business and Engineering. Ever think that maybe my education and accomplishments allowed me to walk away from a corporate job at age 42? Go put your dunce cap back on.

    Great argument for dismissing the harmful effects of inflation, Fed action, high taxes, deficit spending, excessive regulation, Obamacare, trade deficits, offshoring, union activism, etc. Well done!

    What inflation?

    Half the country pays no Federal tax.

    Almost 90% of Odumbocare signups are getting subsidies.

    Sorry, but anyone with a brain can figure ways to balance a budget .. assuming they have chosen to be responsible as adults.

    Although I'm years away from Social Security I detest all these AARP people who bitch and moan that chained CPI will be devastating to retirees. Just today was a piece I saw on retirement .. Social Security was NEVER meant to be a primary means of support. People need to take responsibility for their lives .. and that means saving $$ over your working life.

    And yet they never taught you how to associate three variables.

    I guess I went to better schools.

    Keep in mind that the reason why so apparently few people pay no federal income taxes is that they're not making enough money to do so. The reason why the ACA even exists, much less that subsidies are necessary, is that people are not making enough money to afford private insurance.

    Self-righteousness is not a solution, and anecdotal evidence based on limited experience is of only passing interest.

    I was afraid you'd fallen under the spell of self-righteous twaddle.

    and I ask is laying the blame for middle class destruction at the feet of the govt taxes and the FED for the systematic theft of savings and real wages self righteous twaddle or reality?
