This is bullshit, full of vacuous enthusiasm and mythology.

The hard truth is that opportunity has been failing in America for decades, as corporations have been using their increasing power over our political system to gather the money unto themselves.

Income inequality is WORSE than before the Crash of 1929. Wealthy inequality is WORSE than at any other time in American history.

The idea that vast numbers of people can just 'work harder' completely and conveniently ignores the facts on the ground.

America now has LESS opportunity than other developed nations.

That's why I'm a strong supporter of Bernie Sanders and the New Left, because the average American isn't getting ahead- even if they do have a job.

You've been shagged.

No, I shag, not get shagged. You've lost touch with reality. Any able bodied person with minimal education and a will to work can find work today.

Why are you so caught up with what a wealthy person does or doesn't do? Almost every time I read your posts, you're pissing and moaning about the rich, why don't you focus on yourself for once? You'd find yourself alot better off. I'm telling you brother, Bernie wouldn't even piss on you if you were on fire. Can't understand why you are crawling on your knees looking for the government to pick you up and hold you like a child.

A minimum wage job is $290/week GROSS..what do I pay first..food or housing?

I get a second full-time minimum wage job..now it's $580/gross..what do I pay first..food or housing?

Let's just choose housing for giggles..where can I live on that amount of money?

You've made an assertion and then followed up not with a logical argument or support for your claim- but rather a hate filled personal attack.

Why should I take that seriously? Or you?

I believe you're wrong and the 30% of Americans living below the poverty line right now back up my words.

The idea that they're all 'just lazy' is itself intellectually lazy.

No I wasn't trying to attack you man, I apologize if it came across that way. Even though we have differing opinions, I have respect for you no hate here.

I'm proof of the claims I assert, what more do you want? I don't have college education, I have drug felonies, I didn't come from a wealthy family. I feel like I've overcome some hurdles in my life, I've made a life for myself by myself with no government help. If I can do that, why can't someone else?

I'll say it again, I respect you and your opinions, we just a little different. If we were at the the strip club, I would buy you a drink and a lap dance from any girl you wanted.

Please share your formula for success, then.

What industry are you in? How much do you make? And what's your age?

Let's have an intelligent conversation?

ANY girl?:wink:

I know its not ideal but at $1200 a month you can find a small apartment $6-700, that leaves $500 for food, utilities and daily living expenses, its do-able. Again, not ideal, but you're not homeless and hungry, now if you take that second job and pull another $1200 a month, you're living a little more comfortable and even possibly save a little money to a saving account. Not going to have a lavish lifestyle by any means, but you're not homeless and hungry.

It's no secret, hardwork, sacrifice and determination. I don't do anything special for work either, small engine repair. Sometimes roofing on the side.

Yes, I have a girlfriend, she works and takes care of herself.

Neither of us have kids

Where do you live that you can find an apartment for $600-700/monthly?

Where I live that's a room and a shitty one at that.

Divide and Conquer! That is just what their thinking. The dopers will smoke one and whine......The anti's will get loud as hell and claim their saving the country from the devil.....There will be some stupid claim that it was a terrorist money maker or some shit like that........

In the end the lie's being told will be bought - lock stock and barrel.....The DEA will gain more power and we'll all be afraid of jack booted alphabet thugs being able to kick in our doors with no warrant! It will be looked at as a national security issue!

You forgot that apartments often cost over $1000 a month and that the government gets to take taxes first.

Your math starts not adding up fast.

Why do people need to work 80 hours a week just to avoid starvation?

I think a living wage would not only go a long way towards solving this problem, but would create a better economy.

Why is it acceptable to pay people below poverty wages in exchange for their labor? I don't think it is. Why do you feel differently?
