Ok, I know there are plenty of Americans with real financial problems right now. But my gripe is with the moaners who always complain about money, regardless of their situation. The ones who claim they can't afford to buy local, gas costs too much, I need to shop at Walmart..blah, blah.....but I never see a real financial problem because their house is filled with stuff.
So I compiled a list of the top 5 things these complainers could live without:
1- Their giant big screen TV and satellite dishes. Give me a break, do something productive instead.
2-Countless plastic children's toys. A huge issue to me. I was just reading about plastics that don't ever decompose and just wind up floating in a garbage pile in the ocean. These cheap plastic toys fill space and make your house look tacky. Kids don't need roomfuls of toys--they just wind up becoming boring and uncreative!
3- Holiday knick-knacks. I am utterly grossed out by how much money Americans will spend on inflatable Holiday lawn decorations! Then there are window stick-ons, and plastic weird things galore. It used to be just Christmas--but Halloween is just as bad now. What happened to just making a home-made scarecrow for the front yard???
4- Pet luxury items. What an embarrassment to the rest of the world! Why do Americans spend so much on pet treats, toys and even costumes? Holy cow!
5- Blasting the heat and AC. This is crazy. I have had to work with ladies who actually put the heat thermostat on 80 degrees! They just couldn't handle the concept of dressing differently in the winter (like warm). These same people then can't stand the hot summer temps and want AC on 68 degrees?? What gives? It's like oppositional climate disorder or something.

King Rush and His Serfs
A long time ago in European history, a common way to live was in a feudalistic system. You had the castle and the great lord of this manor. Outside the gates lived the hard working serfs, toiling away to feed the king.
Now I don't remember exactly why the serfs were so obedient--I expect they would simply be killed by the King's men if they did not do as they were told. But if I remember correctly--they were also offered some protection in times of war by the king and his castle.
Fast forward to USA 2009. Quite a few hardworking serfs (if I may call them that) have been fooled by their self-proclaimed King: Rush Limbaugh. Of course he is secretive about his assets, yet I did read he may be making upwards of $33 million a year. Nevertheless, it is nowhere near the amounts of his fiercest supporters, living in working class towns somewhere in middle America.
How did Lord Rush achieve such a diabolical scheme? How do you have the working class actually supporting your right to less taxes and to sit on mass amounts of wealth simply for hurling insults?? Last time I checked, Lord Rush was not dirtying his hands in a coal mine.
Well he as the great Kings of yore, has promised some sort of protection from the enemy army to the loyal serfs. The enemy being "the Liberal agenda". This time around, they will not be stealing your fair maidens and burning your villages. Instead, these warrior liberals have come along to convert your children to homosexuality and tree-hugging. And as long as Lord Rush continues to scare the hard-working serfs into believing the end is near, he gets to laugh all the way to the bank and keep more of his "hard earned money" to pay his pill-popping expenses.
