Eric, this is what I mean about accountability. I agree with Wagner. My family too didn't have much money - we did without lots of stuff. Guess what, we were ok with it. Sure it would have been nice to have a bunch of other stuff but we didn't. Lots of people live beyond their means. Not smart.
Who's fault is it? The businesses that sell them things? Is that what you are trying to say? Should they just be getting money from the gov't because they don't fit your definition of middle class or should they do with less or earn more?
