I'm guessing you're well off since you have a z06. What about the rest of us that are much younger and can't afford such luxuries? What about the people even worse who are barely employed and will certainly be out of a job? The job market is horrendous right now. If nothing is done, it will only get worse.
You should be careful before you assume too much. You don't realize that I quit school in the 11th grade and got my GED. Was married at 16 with a baby on the way. Have remained married for 26 years and raised 3 boys through good and bad times. You don't realize that I lived and raised a family on 73 dollars per week. I was dirt poor and now I am not. I happen to own 2 business and provide employment for 10 employees. One of those companies is losing money on a monthly basis, but I have not laid anyone off, nor am I asking for a government bailout. Just because I have a Z06 doesn't mean I am wealthy. But I have what I have because I worked my ass off for the past 28 years. If you want such luxuries, then work your but off and when you earn it you can have it. For those people that are unemployed, and don't have a 6 month rainy day fun, well perhaps they should have educated themselves and put themselves in a situation to live more within their means. Don't you realize that this entire economic situation stemmed from people living beyone their means and buying homes they could not afford.

Bottom line, if you want something, then work for it. Don't go around seeking to get it from someone else. I suggest you read some history and you will find out that what our govnerment is doing now has NEVER worked, and it won't work this time. I challenge anyone to show me where it has worked.
