Yeah, I don't necessarily disagree to an extent. But, if you think every vehicle driving down the road is new, and that every employee is simply not trying to secure their future, then you're just being dishonest.Drive down the interstate. Who do you think is driving all those new vehicles? Many can afford it but choose debt over long term stability.
Part of the problem with today's society. They want a safety net. Paid for by those who made better choices.
Again, I know many of them that are barely staying afloat trying to live on 50K a year. I don't know how all of them are supposed to make better choices when rent, heat, water, garbage, insurance, keeping their jalopy running, copays, phone bills, food expenses, etc. are taking 100% of their income to just get by.
Pretty broad brush you're painting with that lower paid employees are driving new vehicles. I would also contend that the 401 and IRA programs are a huge benefit to the well heeled. high income earners, great deal, those lower on the pay scale, not worth a shit.
Care to explain how a 50K a year worker takes full advantage of the allowable limit for IRA/401 contributions? It gets wayyyyyyyyyyyy easier the higher on the pay scale you are. Just a fact, jack.
