Ah, one of the most ridiculous statements going.
we live in the United States of America. What so ridiculous about become a rich?
I didn't say it was ridiculous to become rich.
The point is that the rich need workers in order to become rich. You have to take risks and gambles.
It's IMPOSSIBLE for everyone in America to be rich. There has to be people who are much lower down. So to suggest everyone just become rich to avoid these problems is to ignore reality.
Not if you live within your means, stay out of debt, and invest 15% of your income.
Takes work thrift and sacrifice but it’s doable for just about anyone who makes a plan
Well now we've still got problems.
Invest 15% of your income. Or gamble 15% of your income.
Firstly it depends on how much income you're getting in. Can all people afford 15%? To even save 15% let alone gamble it on a system that could bite you in the ass with one bad day?
Stay out of debt? Come on, how many people can afford to buy a home without getting into massive, MASSIVE debt?
You seem not to be seeing things from the perspective of the bottom 80%
anyone who lives beneath their means, avoids debt and saves
And is that possible for most people?
People need a home, that costs a lot of money. People need food, they need transportation, they need things to live, and a lot of people don't have enough money to buy these things up front. I certainly don't.
