I'd have been employed even earlier than that, but the Gov't had mandated I couldn't be.
So if you don't realize how the Gov't is raising the costs of things, why do you then reference how some cars have their prices raised via the Gas Guzzler Tax while others do not?
The Founders gave us the right to pursue happiness, not the right to pursue happiness only with things that meet Gov't imposed standards.

Your opportunities in life are the same as mine and everyone elses. I don't recall anyone guaranteeing the top of the line of any one product. Myself personally when I plan on paying $60k on a car that nobody is forcing me to buy, the GG tax is not gonna break the deal. Call me an elitist if you wish, I just think of it more as just working wisely. Our family just happens to enjoy nice cars and are willing to work hard and pay the price for them. We don't drink, smoke, go out to dinner several times a week. We are self employed, and are responsible for ourselves. Nobody ever said it was gonna be easy.
