Deserve?
Really?
How stupid is that?
Finances are emotionless. The balance sheet doesn't care what your excuse is. Bad decisions lead to bad lives. Good decisions lead to better lives.
None of us "deserve" anything simply because we are American. None of us "deserve" what our neighbor has.
Get your butt to work. Quit whining about what everybody else has. Stop envying.
Sheesh.

You missed my point. The idea that they "deserve" something is stupid.
