Late breaking news

Have you ever been annoyed? I was so ticked off by something I saw on TV that I have to get this off my chest.

I was watching a report on a cable TV network (I won't say the name but the initials are CNN). The panel was on about how the average American's real income (adjusted for inflation) had declined year-on-year for the first time ever.

This, they claimed, was the result of a "war on the middle class" and it was unfair that the top 1% of the population was reaping the benefit from past "boom times" and the rest of the people were not.

This kind of "reporting" gets my goat.

If I know that there is a "boom time" and that what I am doing ("being in the middle class") isn't getting me a piece of the action does that mean there is a "war" against me? Of course not! It means: I AM IN THE WRONG GROUP - DOING THE WRONG THINGS. Period.

I need to identify what the people that are benefiting from the "boom times" are doing, and do the same thing.

Doesn't that make sense?

You have a choice. I have a choice. Take responsibility for making the choice and accept the consequences. If you don't like the results -- change what you are doing.

Don't whine. Don't complain. Don't paint yourself as a victim of WAR, for heaven's sake! I am grateful that I live in a free country where I can decide what I do with my life and one that is at peace so I can go ahead and actually do what I choose to do.

Don't listen to the Bozos at CNN. There is no war on the middle class. There is a wake-up call that maybe the choices we have made are no longer serving us. I am free to change my choice. So are you. So is everyone, at least in my country and pray you are free in your own.
