For those of you who have done well and have plenty stashed away, congratulations. And I mean that sincerely. A vast majority of you probably worked your ass off and made some good decisions along the way.
What ticks me off is so many of you claiming that if you're a Democrat and support Obama, you are LAZY, SUPPORT WELFARE, DON'T GIVE A DAMN ABOUT OUR COUNTRY, ABUSE THE SYSTEM, etc.
FALSE to all of the above!
I've worked HARD all my life. I wasn't fortunate to go to college. But at times I've had 3 jobs at one time I currently make only 30% of what I used to make 5 years ago. The customers just don't have the disposable income that they used to have and I don't blame them for spending less.
As the economy has hit the tank, those of us who don't make as much as you guys get hit harder. Jobs are scarce, the prices are going up. New car? Out of the question Going to a restaruant for dinner? Out of the question.
And then you read posts by people who have the income to weather the storm better than those who do not telling me that I'm lazy.
WRONG. Your mind is lazy by not understanding just how hard it is. And some of your comments are like throwing salt at the wounds of fellow Americans.
I may be a lefty, but I do celebrate Christmas and the 4th of July too and with pride.
