    You have to have money to have options in this country--and more and more of us have less and less of the money. Quit talking about opportunities for all when your "all" is defined by income that too many of have not and do not have.

    Do this. See if you can make it through the month on the largesse of $1000. Make the hard choices. This is what the lower 20-30% of American Citizens must do. And once you've played... fix it.

    It is amazing that just under $22K constitues the poverty rate for a family of four. When in reality it should be $44K

    Anyone who can vote for their own pay raise is obviously living in a dreamworld. End special (self) treatment for congressmen/women.

    Maybe if you know what it is like to live on limited income and no vacations, no medical insurance etc. than you will be wise in which bills you support.

    I grew up like this... I'm lucky enough now to be (mostly) out of it, and it's something I personally think everyone needs to experience... you can't really respect hardship til you've been through it. At least- AT LEAST- you can try Spent.
