They say, the people who are having and will be having a 'hard time'...
Are those that have been most 'bought into' the system, that is falling down...
If they had a house, that is worth less now, or a retirement package that's
worth less now, or if they planned on going to graduate school to get an
M.B.A., those easy money days are over...
If they are continuing to believe in the 'American Dream',
Of getting rich, on someone else's back, and fence everyone out...
And then expect to be happy...
The simple folk are happier...
The ones dependent on the way things were, are holding on to dust.
