I'm not too worried about us losing our guns to these morons, especially if the Supreme Court holds the way I think it will hold in its current 2nd Amendment case. Me, I'm worried about the national falling into complete chaos.

Yes, we definitely need change. We need people to become more responsible for what they do. If they want to be the grasshopper their entire life, then it is on them when they hit retirement age. Honestly, I have clients that are 65 and they still have mortgages. I have a husband and wife that are 55 and 54 respectively, and they have a $250,000 mortgage with 28 years remaining on it and they make $40,000 combined a year. They also have nothing saved for retirement at age 55. They have two kids, one of which I know is in even worse shape than they are. Who is going to bail these people out when they cannot work anymore and they cannot afford to pay their mortgage?

I can go on for a long time about the change that is needed in this country, and most of it doesn't have one bit to do with politics.

I also think that taxes need to be raised. I know, I don't like it either. However, what kind of example is our own government setting when it is $9 trillion in debt. God, I don't even know how many zeros that is. Let's see $9,000,000,000,000.00 I think that should cover it. It is no wonder that I have a 40 year old couple that refinanced their house and paid off $95,000 in credit card debt, and their house is worth about $400,000. I have clients that are strapped for cash that tell me they NEED $6,000 and $8,000 to LIVE, yet they drive a Lexus RX330 and BMW X5 respectively. If they ask me for my honest opinion, I would tell both of them to sell the cars and buy something much more economical. One of them has a single child that is 2 years old and the other doesn't have any kids.

Like I said, I could go on forever.

We need to pass a STUPIDITY LAW. I think government should get less involved in everything and let people fend for themselves. There are too many safety nets out there that cost the rest of the responsible citizens too much, and eventually those responsible citizens will get fed up with it and become irresponsible too. As we have less and less responsible citizens to shoulder the burden for the morons, this nation will be in some serious trouble.
