Its time for a financial change

“Even timid Japanese are finally starting to push for change,”( Miku Ohkura)
Everyone seems to be getting upset at rich people and bad financial decisions made by them.
It seems that people have had way too much faith on the rich and forgot to realize that they are no different than you and me, except that they make more money than most Americans.
Upon reading an article on the New York Times, I am again enraged at how the rich are being taken care of. Under different circumstances would the people who are rich be able to do what they are doing now? If they were raised in a poverty stricken neighborhood or (just to come out and say) it without the silver spoon in their mouths would they have been able to get to where they are now, would they be no different from both you and me? I am tackling two different subjects here, but I see them as one. Why should they get all these benefits because they make 7 more figured than I do? In the end of the day they are also human. It is time that we need to think about what we need as a country rather than what we want. So many companies are out there to make the next buck,trying to come with new products that make people rush to the stores and for what? We have decent looking houses for outrageous prices. Why? WHy can't we simple? I don't mean to go back and life the "simple" ways of the 50's and 60's but just live simple, not get everything that is out there because it is cool but because it is something we need. We need to show the banks that as a new generation we are responsible and are thinking about our future un like the rich financial slobs that live their upscale,pricey lifestyle.
