I can't see any other alternative. It's harsh, but you can make excuses for failure all you want. At the end of the day, it's still failure.

I agree with you...in the end it is about personal choice! It's about deciding whether you will continue to be in the minority or if you will be in the top percentage of Americans - those who are working, aiming for a better life, and "struggling" as I say to pay bills and make ends meet from month to month. Of course, as stated above, again, it is about personal choice! I can't refute you on that.

Back to the sub-argument about minimum wage, the 2 dollar minimum wage hike failed in the Senate.
Unfortunately though, so did reductions to the death (estate) tax...

I'd be all for any kind of tax cut as long as we could figure out first where we were going to cut the spending to pay for the tax cut. As it stands, the estate tax was only going to affect estates valued at over 2 million dollars. I know that the rich share a disproportionate amount of the tax burden, and I strongly believe that they should be the first to receive tax cuts, but before we cut taxes anywhere, we need to find some federal spending to cut at the same time.
An 8.5 trillion dollar deficit is going to catch up with us one of these days.

Yeah I'm going to cry for the multi-billionaire .0000001% of the US population that is so hurt by that.

You guys act like the estate tax only effects the uber-rich. Thankfully the exemption status will be raised until about 2010, but if it goes back to how it was, it'll effect a lot of people, including many on this site.

The proposed change was only going to affect people whose estates were valued at over 2 million dollars.
