yeah thats me to. im not out to work harder than everyone else so i can be a millionaire. i dont want a mansion, i dont want multiple high end cars.
i want to work, be good at my job and be paid accordingly (70k plus bonus to increase with inflation/cost of living). i want to be able to leave work at 5-6 most days, have dinner with the kids, if i want to go to disneyworld i will plan and save a few months ahead, send the kid to state college if he doesnt get a scholarship, by the time im 45 have a house big enough for a guest bedroom, have decent healthcare, play golf on saturdays and drink beer on sundays.
that is the american dream and im an american.
what i dont need is BofA scamming me out of my money when im low on funds. what i dont need is being overly taxed b/c govt cant control themselves and give benefits to their corporate friends.
build hospitals and schools with my tax money, not bombs and schools in iraq. **** iraq.
taxes already take what? 45% of our paychecks off the break. then they tax me 4.5k in property tax for a city that cant fill a pot hole and hire police that cut in line and treat you like shit.
