My favorite: "ask for a raise". If you have to be told that you don't deserve more money.

You're absolutely right. The country believes they are all movie stars and sports heros. It is the root cause of the entitlement culture and Facebook epitomizes that culture. If you're not narcissistic and self-absorbed then you're in the minority Steve.

Rule #1 Don't become a self obsessed individual. Cancel your Face book account and go out side where the world is.

@Vincenzo Diesel, you're so right. Unfortunately it won't matter who is to blame the country will be in bad shape either way. Sad really.

Agreed wholeheartedly, yet for all your statements no one seems to care. We live in a country that likes to follow the crowd and as long as the powers that be can maintain the power to manipulate the cash, the cattle will continue to follow them Only when the ponzi scheme is unsustainable and the markets plummet wil...more

Good for you @ Ker Plunk. People don't understand that the heritage of America lies in its traditions. Firearms are at the center of those traditions and our wrath at those threatening those constitutional rights will have a fight they have never seen before.

Speaking of banks.......can you imagine what would happen in the U.S. if the banks seized money, via the government, like they did in Cyprus? This place would be a battlefield, people would flip out. It's strange to see the people of Cyprus just going about their daily business.

Um, they did lump Wells Fargo in there.

That's an awesome idea @SocialSecurityPayUS. Another social program for the 50 million on welfare to get used to. How about putting it into a free car for them or maybe a one  week vacation to Hawaii. I've got it...free massages. The stress must be incredible.
