Hard work and High cost of living don't Mix

You work hard and try to pay your bills on time and prices keep going up. Housing costs are increasing everyday and everything goes up but your income. I think the plan was to wipe out the middle class, because poverty is barking at the heels of a lot of hard working individuals with no end in sight. I would like to know how they come up with all those charges on my gas and electric bill, because if I read it correctly I only owe them half of what they charged me, but I need to keep the lights on and heat the house. Then when did we start paying for TV. Geez I have an antenna, but then I would miss all the cool stuff like Game of Thrones and American Horror Story. How could I cut off the Dish and survive. Then I fought the cell phone trend, but started a business and all of the sudden I have another bill I can't live without. Do not mess with my I phone. I feel so connected to the world. I get it now. Then there is the trash, the lawn care, the snow plowing and all the things that come along with the joys of home ownership. Oh and I almost forgot the internet bill and of course I live in a vortex so it is not cheap and I have to buy extra data all the time. I guess the distance is the reason. I don't understand it, but I pay the bill, because I can't get my work done unless I have it. Yeah then the taxes are due, I am sure it is all allocated to the proper public units, but why are they closing down schools and cutting back all the time. Taxes are going up and education and infrastructure is in the toilet. Then there is the health insurance scam, yes I said scam. This is ridiculous in the United States. Every American should be able to have a basic health plan tailored to their specific needs and be taken care of. We should not be struggling to pay our annual medical bills in this country. Maybe they are just plain charging to much.Then there is the Auto insurance scam. My goodness why are the prices so astronomical for the new drivers and why don't you give them a break at 21 if they have been driving since 16. No lets make them pay 3 times more because they are already broke and they can live at home forever just to pay their car insurance. What on earth are we doing in this country. We need to stand back and streamline some things to make the economy level out. You do realize that the rich are getting richer, the poor are getting all the benefits and the middle class is paying for it all. Seems a little out of balance to me. I say we all need to work smarter, not harder.
