This may sound cynical or to an extent degrading. Today I pay respect and give a tribute to... The Consumer!
Without the Consumer, a lot of businesses would not exist. This is true. There is one special type of Consumer I have in mind. He/She is the one who is educated enough to find the help they need, but are not willing or educated enough to learn to help themselves.
This is tax season and so many countless people are needlessly relying on a paid tax preparer. It's not just the "fat cat" firms making out like bandits on this one either.
In time to come soon Americans will have the ability to dictate how their social security money is being invested. The uneducated or unwilling to educate themselves Consumer will undoubtedly begin flocking to the investment firms and any other source who can invest their for them with little to no oversight.
