Open Your Eyes

I decided to sit outside today and read the paper and catch up on the world. It was so nice outside I decided to read the editorials and the letters sent in by readers in the "You Opinion" section of the paper. Then I can across this editorial by a reader entitled "Most Americans don't have it so bad." (Scroll down to bottom)

This guy must be completed oblivious or 100% nieve. Look around.

• He says he sees all these luxury vehicles on the road. Look at the neighborhood you are in, go into the city and it is a different story. Also, these people didn't just buy these vehicles, they have had them for a while. Once the economy falls apart everyone does go and and sell their cars and buy new, cheaper ones.
• He says "look at all the people who own second or vacation homes?" What? I don't know anyone who owns a second home. Their are millions of people across the country who do not have one home. In many inner-cities 8-10 people live in one home. Just because extremely rich people can still afford 2 homes, does not mean the economy is doing well.
• He says most home still have tvs, i-pods, computers, and luxury items. Again, people bought these before the economy took a dump, not everyone will go out and sell them.
• He says high-end luxury homes and condos are being built. Pick up any newspaper and you will read that no one is buying these, and the housing market is the worst it has been in years. I saw something on TV about some realtors are giving away cars when you buy a house to try and help the housing market.
• He also says that restaurants and grocery stores are still packed. Really? You mean people still need to eat? Wow!

This guy is an idiot. Just because him and all his rich friends out in the suburbs don't face the negatives of the troubled economy, it does not mean that people everywhere are doing fine. Take your head out of your a** and look at the world around you.

I'm guessing this guy thinks George W. Bush was the greatest president ever.
