He makes good points

but Mr. Henninger hasn't a worry in the world about affordable health care. He's reached a high enough plateau in his profession that he probably never needs to worry about a source of income. He more than likely owns multiple well-maintained and functioning vehicles for his personal transportation.

In the social circles he participates, the likelihood of a drive-by shooting or a drug overdose is practically non-existent. Should he get arrested for a DUI or any crime for that matter, he'll have access to the best lawyers to minimize the penalties he must incur.

I'm certain his assets in life have enabled him to not have to worry about his retirement years. He could probably live off the equity in his home and the value of his possessions for a very long time should depression hit.

Somehow a person in the upper echelon of society stating how well off we all are rings a bit hollow to me.

We are marvelously lucky to have been born into this country and have the marvelous opportunities it affords but to dismiss people's concerns about the future when you live in one of the better neighborhoods in your town seems a bit holier-than-thou.
