KTC, idiots like you have drunk the Kool-Aid and believe the socialist crap you have been spoon fed. Now, would you like to know from where my beliefs come? Of course not. You have your mind made up and no amount of truth will ever seep into your brain. But I will give you a little of the truth and then you can call me names.
My mother’s mother raised us kids. She came out of the Great Depression and lost everything, even her husband. He was injured in WWI and eventually died of his injuries. Both mom and dad worked so that grandma could live with us. That taught me that in all things, family first. Now I know that you think the government should have taken care of her, but that is wrong. Family should take care of family. And how does a family take care of itself? They get jobs, any jobs at whatever pay and then they live within their means. They do what needs to be done. Donuts paid for most everything my mother owns. But then, she got up at 3:30 A.M., six days a week and made those donuts. Why? Because good people do what they have to do to support themselves.
Now me, I started work at 14, working after school for 45 cents an hour. I saved most of that money. My senior year I did spend a lot of it on guns and ammo, but then I did not spend it on booze like most kids my age. At about that time I went down the street and went to work for $1.15 and hour plus 3% sales commission. That was where I learned one lesson. The minimum wage was raised to $1.25 and hour and I saw four people lose their jobs and the sales commission go away. Our government at work. But I got by because I was willing to work 12 hours a day, six days a week. After spending two years in the service, I was drafted, I came back to that company and over time figured out I was never going to get rich managing a store for someone else. I went into business for myself. That was when I learned that banks only loan you money if you do not need to borrow it. I went to work at night rebuilding railroad cars so that I could run my business during the day. While working my business I made friends with a fellow who worked for Western Electric. He later got me a job with them and I started making more money than I ever had. It is good to have good friends. I worked for Western for five years because I was willing to work in a different town every 13 weeks or less. I lived in a travel trailer that paid for lots of things because my per diem was more than my pay and per diem is tax free.
And that was where my knowledge about America and American business came to me. While you get you ideas, thoughts and beliefs from your brain washing, I got my knowledge from personal experiences. Now think of some more names and BS you can spout off. Check with some of your handlers. I am sure they can give you some names and tell you how to put a socialist spin on it.
