- If you're a citizen of and living in the US, by living and adhering to
- laws (or, at least, not getting caught), you are "paying" for certain
- privilages, like equality, freedom of speach, governmental services,
- etc. That's what you deserve, I guess.

- And a continual transfer of income from 99% of the people to the upper
- 1%. That's life in this great country, eh?

- There is more to life than housing expenses. More to life than even
- money. People pay in different ways, not all of them financial.

-
- Most people are exploited by the government, the large corporations,
- and the ultra-rich. Fortunately in this country they are pretty much
- interchangable, so you can see who the enemy is.
