A lot of good points in that post.
I think Americans (and Canadians...) in general have relied on their government for far too long, and as a result they see the government as needing to provide the answers to their problems. Yet time and time again the politicians prove how inept they are at doing anything other than what they do on the campaign trail. These people are good at smiling, nodding, and taking advice for the most part, what else? All of the top talent in your country goes to business, science, medical fields, etc. None of them go into politics.
Even in my own family I've seen it first hand. My family could have pooled their money together each month and bought a mansion. We have such a small family, it would be easy. Yet everyone wants to live alone and hug their just-paying-their-bills lifestyle, just for privacy or independence or... a not letting your family see who you really are kind of vanity.
Families need to take care of each other and solve their own problems and live within their means. Junior needs to stop buying a new BMW 3 series the first time the bank will let him at 20 years old and start handing over some cash to his dad to say yo, thanks for taking care of mom pop's.
Whatever. My plan? Save save save, get the fuck outta dodge to somewhere sunny where the government isn't ramming some new half-baked idea down our throats every 3 months.
