This is a problem??? I think this is the greatest thing about America..In our society if you are willing to work hard enough and provide goods and services that are in demand you can have pretty much anything you want..How this is viewed as a "major problem" is beyond me. Our capitalist system has provided more prosperity and opportunity than any other society at any time in human history...

I have known way to many corporate slaves who make 80,000 a year and live in 400 - 500k homes and drive brand new BMW/Benz's.
They can survive, until one or both of them lose their jobs or have medical emergency than they just max their credit cards more.

Corporate slaves?? So someone willing to work hard to provide for their family is a corporate slave??? Now if they try to swing half million dollar homes and $150,000 in cars on $80,000 a year or even $160,000 that's just poor judgment and living way beyond their means.....
