How is buying a house and working a job a safe thing? I'm Canadian. We Canadians grow up extremely aware of our behemoth neighbour. We watch your TV, your news, your movies. Your culture permeates our culture. And your culture celebrates home ownership and working a job as the American dream. From Leave it to Beaver to Desperate Housewives and Weeds, your culture (and ours) is all about having a job and owning a home. It's part of the American dream. How many people pursuing that dream lost their job and their homes? If you're unemployed and homeless through no fault of your own, how do you feel when you see bankers, who are at fault, getting bailed out by the government? The Occupy Wall Street movement is about pointing out how unfair it is to bailout the rich without doing a thing for the middle class. As for health insurance, does the author sound like he has a few extra thousand dollars kicking around to pay the deductible?
