And did you bother to read the other stories in that article. They were people just like you. But people just like "me" (or Ten) aren't expecting to be bailed out. If I make a financial mistake it is MY mistake, not yours or Tens. And I have made many. But you pick yourself up, get off your ass, and sort out the problem as best you can. You don't whine about it until someone gives you taxpayers money. IF a day comes that I'm looking for a government handout, you guys will know I've hit rock bottom. Because I simply cannot conceive of events that would take me to that place. I will be hunting deer for food before then.

She owned a successful furniture store. Her husband had a job that earned him hundreds of thousands of dollars per year. Again, that ain't middle class. And why are we supposed to bail out upper class folks like this? Oh stop your indignant self righteousness. Like I said, you need to have life kick you hard in the rear. Ah, liberal compassion.

Ted, > Who told you they were middle class? Why don't you answer my question? Why do you want me to bail them out? Lots of people own lucrative businesses only to see them fail due to economic fluctuations. That's life. Nothing is a sure thing. Not even my job, nor my wife's, nor my own house (which is a heckuvalot more modest than the $1.1M home the furniture store owners once had). I choose not to live in fear of all that. And you are resenting me for that. Go scare someone else into joining your "revolution." Tenchusatsu
