I knew I liked Adam Carolla for some reason.. His take on the OWS Generation. LOL

Here's another thing that "my money" allows me to do... and I'm not pointing this out for kudos... I'm just saying that if I was just barely paying my bills and trying to save to buy car parts - I WOULD NOT be able to do this kind of stuff....

Note under my screen name - "SUPPORTING MEMBER" - I actually PAY to support this website. I don't have a business paying that - it's just out of pocket. I do that because I LOVE this site and the friends that are here. It takes real money to run this place.. and hard work that you never see that goes on in the background. I'm willing to pay a little bit so that I can continue to enjoy it. And that helps everyone else to be able to continue to enjoy it too!

Nobody asked me to do this - I don't get a bill - just every once in a while I PayPal some dough... It's not much (to me)... but I know it's appreciated and I'm certain that it goes to a good 'cause and I know it goes to a good guy!


Everyones view of the "rich guy" is some big fat guy sitting around smoking cigars and he's surrounded by piles of gold bars and jewels and he's busy lining the pockets of the politicians. I'm sure that's true for some people... maybe the one tenth of the one percent... but if you read the book - "The millionaire next door" you'd see that most of "us" are pretty simple folks that own small businesses or are farmers... or just own a couple small buildings we rent out etc. You take "us" out of the picture and you'll see an economy that REALLY gets wiped out.

If it wasn't for the "rich guys" bidding up cars on Barrett Jackass.... none of our "regular" cars would be worth nearly as much. A rising tide floats all boats. Some DB pays 225K for a '55 post car -- and the POS in your garage just went up 10K... and it justifies building a "clone/copy/phony" hemi 'cuda for someone to drive and enjoy. If there wasn't one just sold on BJ for 185K - nobody would build 'em!

Just sayin' -- it's just not all that simple.
