Standard of living

"... who need to have their standard of living improved."

Did you mean have their standard of living improved by someone else, or for them to improve their standard of living.

We complain about the rich making more money even as we stick our hands deeper into their pockets asking for more. We complain about the cost of prescriptions even as we depend more and more on "Big Pharma" for extending our lives. "I need..." "I deserve..." "I want..."

This country was built on people working hard and sacrificing -- pretty much what this web site is all about. Tighten your belt, get off the couch and get a second or third job. No excuses. Then one day YOU'LL be in a position to give someone a helping hand.
