Oh please. Are you so helpless that you can't stop spending money on stuff
you don't need or can't afford? Show a little backbone!
>Face it Hillary. The system sucks big time
Of course the system sucks big time, but everytime you fork over a dollar to
an undeserving company you hand over your power. Buisness lesson 101 - NO
buisness can survive if they cannot sell their product. Really, I'm not
making this stuff up.

This very well may be true.

Yes, yes, yes. It's everyone else's fault. And no, I'm not one of the
Rich. I count my pennies like everyone else. I just don't whine about it.
