No, I don't think that person is making assumptions. From what I have read on here, Kevin has written some posts indicating that his family is wealthy.
I also think the only people who look stupid on here are the ones who are so out of touch with reality that they think the solution is just to move. Also, regardless of what "Michigan" did to itself, what does that really have to do with individuals who are suffering? For example, the governor of my state has made some poor choices, but I'm not going to say that INDIVIDUALS deserve to suffer because of mistakes made by people who have nothing to do with them.
And yes, there is a special place for people who think like Kevin and promote that line of thinking. First and foremost we are all supposed to have some compassion for our fellow man. Those who think they are immune to problems, especially financial ones, often end up in the place they derided others for being. So Kevin and anyone else who feels that way should be very careful because one day you may be in the same position as these people.
And on another note, it always amuses me how the same three or four people use every thread to show off their "intellectual" side. Notice I out that word in quotes. That's because it is really questionable as to whether the intellect is really there or if it just more hot air. But I would venture to say that if you REALLY know how to solve all these problems, why don't you run for office or make your voices heard somewhere other than a message board?
