  I grew up middle class and still am and one thing I know is that today's "middle class" is just trying to pretend they're rich and can't sustain it. EVERYONE I know leases a car, maxes their credit cards to buy designer, nobody owns a darn thing, it's all borrowed. This is just stupid and pretentious.
  I drive a mercedes, bought it used, five years old but looks new and drives like new and cost less than a new jeep. I don't need new car smell so this luxury I can afford.
  Government needs to be in the business of running the country and not the business of subsidizing lifestyles.

      The point is that many people (not poor) increasingly look to the government to bail them out of (knowingly) bad decisions.
      The reason we don't have enough money to go around to those truly in need is that so many want a piece of the government pie and there just isn't enough pie.
      Live within your means - that's what I'm saying, too many people just don't and then want help from someone when it all goes south.
