O.K. Cabforward, you are making some sense here, but in this time of economical chaos, anytime you start to talk about labor issues, and how the average "Joe" is going to put food on the table, you are going to stir up some nasty rhetoric. I may have been hasty in my last post. I am, however tired of being trampled upon by "big business" every time I try to take a step forward in life. You stated that you work for minimum wage. So YOU of all people should be acutely aware of the shortcomings of todays economy. I'm a union worker that pulls in less than $30.000 a year, and still can't afford to buy a house. I have lived in this darned apartment for 10 years. But in my town, even a small 2 bedroom cape cod type house goes for $150.000. It is getting insane. I should have invested in real estate 20 years ago, and cleaned up. But how could I know back then, how bad things would be now? I'm afraid I'll be trapped renting till the day I die now... And that's no plan for retirement! Of course, I could raid my pension for a house, but then what do I do for money when I retire? I might own the roof, 4 walls, and yard, but how do I put food in the fridge?
