Would that at all change your opinion of the matter?

Just a thought, I agree with the fact that theres wayyy too many freeloaders out there, and you and I might be paying into social security and getting nothing back later, its just that the good people suffer if legislature is painted using too broad a brush.
Yes I would feel the same. If you cannot afford to pay your bills to own and operate a car and maintain one. YOU should not be driving one. I don't care if you are my mother, it does not matter. This is getting way off topic now, sorry for my vent
