Things America Really Sucks At

Being a young, married, home-owning non-upper class adult with children is very tough in America. Right out of the gate you are punished.

Do you want to go to college? Better be able to pay LOTS to go.

Do you want to own a home? Get ready to pay. Ok, that's the same everywhere.

Do you want to have children? You must pay for the hospital stay.

Do you want to take time off after the baby arrives? Then make sure you either have paid for disability insurance or have saved enough if you want to take time off. It's almost the 20 year anniversary of the Family Medical Leave Act. It's only been 20 years since it became illegal to fire someone for taking time off to have a baby.

Can't afford to keep one parent at home to raise the kids? Gotta pay a LOT for daycare.

But if you are old, Times are GREAT! Free medical care!! Who pays for that? The workers!!!

America could have it much better. America could fix these issues. America has many other issues, too. But America doesn't want to fix these issues. If we fixed these issues, then we would be socialists! Wait, no we would just be delivering our wealth to those who need it and have helped create it. But we don't do that. We don't do that. Because that is un-American. And I think it will get MUCH worse before it gets better, if it ever gets better.
