34. Awesome rant
You are neither crazy nor stupid.

My spouse and I wonder about the jobs that form the tax base. Jobs used to be in manufacturing. Gone. Then the jobs were in computer technology. Gone. What are the jobs now forming the the core of the American tax base? Wal-mart?

Not everyone can afford to go to college for higher paying jobs and some people just don't want to go to college. This country will not be able to survive on minimum-wage service jobs. There are not enough taxes from service-type jobs to support our police, firemen, military and other government services.
