    Welcome to the Victim Olympics, where your problems are everyone else's fault.

    Right.

    It's everyone elses fault when you want to have what your neighbor has and you have to go into debt to get it.

    That's certainly not an example of personal responsibility or anything.

    It's that damned capitalism that makes you do it.

    Did someone give you your job one day or did you have to work your way into it?

    Says someone who has no clue that not all corporations are conglomerates, or run multimillion in sales.

    If you care to put your posterior in harms way for what the military earns, then you deserve what you receive. We, the taxpayers, agreed to support the military. Must be that social contract I've heard many talk about.

    Sure I do I have ownership in hundreds of corporations and live a middle class standard of living being financially secure. And it didn't take a college degree to get here. And middle class extends above 6 figures.

    Democrats can't even fund themselves.

    If they could, they wouldn't cry when welfare gets cut and scream about medicare for all.

    They are just repeating what they are told—“corporations are big, evil, and screw the poor”.

    You like the freebies while others put in the sacrifice for you, I know. Not hard to figure out

    Why should they sacrifice luxuries, when you can do that for them?

    Nothing stopping them but themselves.

    The keys to not being poor are simple and universal.
    1. Get a job , work hard and learn.
    2. Save money., yes you can.
    3. Don't have kids out of wedlock
    4. Stay married.

    Do those things and statistics say you won't be poor

    Supposedly doing all those things, Trump fans still need Trump to make their lives better. It's a conundrum, wouldn't you say?

    Only in Trump fan imagination.

    I have done all of those four things on the list. Yet, Trump had ZERO difference on my ability to do or not do them.

    Here is what I think: trump fans talk a good talk. Yet, when you look closely, most of them, at least on this forum, are actually on SS and Medicare, including the OP of this thread. The constantly rail against government goodies, while happily collecting themselves. They also talk a good talk about saving, but then we had one on here who bought an RV after the tax cuts. It seems to me mostly a mental disconnect. They can't see that they themselves are doing what they are accusing others of.

    Hold on I'm making a government cheese sandwich. :roll:

    Tell me more about what your emotions are divining.

    Someone bought an RV after some tax cuts. That bastard.

    I receive tax dollars to pay the retirement that I earned for 28 years in the Army. I highly doubt that you pay any taxes.

    This was your post. You said, that I should "at least say thank you", did you not? Are you misspeaking or are you lying? Kinda the same thing.

    The other person seemed to be but I wasn't talking to you so don't give a **** what you think. Maybe if you were part of the conversation I would but you weren't and I don't.

    You don't have to be so hard on yourself. You might be sorry but that's okay. It didn't bother me.
