They are taught that those people are the "wealthy" and that is why you will notice that "wealthy" is never defined by politicians. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just trying to explain that the guys making 7.25 and the guys making 25 are both victims. Too many want to just lump the 25 and up into one group and the only victim is the guy making 7.25.

Well, I was assuming we weren't talking about me specifically, because that's not the topic. You, on the other hand, seem to want to make it all about me, so I can see where the disconnect lies. What I have or haven't done has zero fucking bearing on the the fact that 78% of the population is living paycheck to paycheck. It also has zero bearing on the fact that wages have been stagnant for 4 decades. Those two stats do have a lot to do with one another, however, and trying to deny it or shift blame to some other subjective bullshit you want to pull out if your ass is burying your head in the sand.

Stupid teenagers. They don’t have 3 kids, a mortgage and two auto loans to pay for. Where do they get off? Teenagers make poor decisions.

You said you live paycheck to paycheck and are you not an electrician by trade? I certainly would be buying a boat or any toy if I could not survive years without an income. But lets blame that on others, instead of looking in the mirror. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
