    Hey, I'm glad you asked!

    Let's take Donald Trump for instance! Donald Trump stands up there on his lofty little perch, and spreads hatred, division among us, and hyperbole about the weaknesses of our military, the dangers of minority immigrants, and lies about his opponents and liberals to a point that you YIP YAPS think your lives are being ruined by others.

    When in fact, people like Donald Trump cater to your fears and prejudices, to the point of making you hate being Americans so bad, that he has to come along and magically make it great again for you.

    When in fact, he is just feathering his own ass, having fun leading you Yip Yaps on, while he is in it strictly for the money while carrying out his criminal activities while hiding behind the Executive Powers of the office he holds!

    Thanks for asking!

    It really is a good article.

    Kinda hard to dispute.

    I've not seen a single post which points out a single error in the article.

    The fact that the HOW of it not only doesn't bother you in the least, but that you actually cheer it on, speaks volumes as to how brainwashed against the ideals America was founded upon you rotten r/w vermin are.

    And why you can't be exterminated fast enough.

    I managed to carve out a life for myself and didn't end up too shabby! We are all in charge of our destinies. For me, if I didn't feel I was being paid enough, I would fire my boss, and go hire me a new one somewhere else. It was a shame I had to do that so many times though. And let me just say that it was not often easy, as I faced several layoffs because of the IT career I happened to choose. Layoffs due to the offshoring of my job to foreign countries, or lay-offs due to being replaced by H1 Visa applicants. Or lay-offs due to the firm I worked for filing for bankruptcy etc.

    But, I was lucky. In my days, I had good affordable healthcare and healthcare insurance for me and mine.

    By the turn of the Century, that Insurance shit got up to where it was unaffordable and didn't pay shit for shit just when you needed it, and it just kept costing more and more every year! Basically the reasons for the ACA in the first place.

    SO, A lot of things could have been much better for me, if the economies and job markets of the past would have been more stable.

    A credit to you then. There are obviously things that occur that are out of our control. And there are always exceptions but most of us have the opportunity to live the best life possible and that is ultimately incumbent upon ourselves to do so.

    Thanks, but, there were a few holes, and Damn! I fell into every one of them! LOL!

    But, hey, you have to take some blame for yourself! I am not always sure I handled adversity in the best way possible in retrospect!

    The thing is, to keep bringing bacon to the table, sometimes you have to just do it, no matter what, no matter whether it turned out to be right or wrong!

    Sometimes you can be damned if you do- and damned if you don't!

    But, let me just get this out of the way- There were many times when I didn't feel that the Government was looking after the best interest of the working man!

    And many of those times were under Republican led branches of government!
