I can't help but feel like you're making a value judgement against certain individuals. That combined with looking over your comment history makes me feel like you're unsympathetic to individuals in situations that are less than ideal. Some people have cancer and don't have health care. Some people have kids. Some people live in the Midwest have absolutely must have a car to get to work and have higher than average heating and cooling bills. Some people got arrested for having marijuana and now they have a hard time getting a job. Some people are supporting a parent who isn't self-sufficient. Some people are supporting a spouse who has substance abuse issues. Life happens to people. Other countries have found a way for providing a high standard of living without a need to put the onus for saving onto the individual. I'm not saying this here to say it's the responsibility of the state to provide a comfortable retirement for individuals. But knowing that we could, in not some too unimaginable world provide a comfortable retirement and safety net for each individual, what are our reasons for not doing so? What is it in you that feels like the burden of life must be foisted upon individuals with lesser means or an inability to provide for themselves rather than a distributing that responsibility upon everyone?

You have drawn a lot of incorrect conclusions about my personal opinions. If you have the time to point out any value judgements I have made, or previous comments that were in poor taste, please do. My OP comment was stating facts and refuting people who were questioning the validity of the survey. I'm not sure where you would draw any conclusions about my personal opinions from it. >What is it in you that feels like the burden of life must be foisted upon individuals with lesser means or an inability to provide for themselves rather than a distributing that responsibility upon everyone? Nothing in me feels that way. Thanks.
