If you can't make it in this country ... you are a loser

[Indeependent]

I'm sick of all the whining from the left that the unions created the middle class and tax cuts for the rich and blah blah. This is the richest country in the history of man. The "poor" don't pay taxes and get endless government payouts. The middle class pay little. If you're black or female, companies are seeking you out to increase their diversity.

If you are an able bodied person in this country, you can do anything. No one in history has had it so good. The opportunity is endless. Your parents were willing to sacrifice and work for their children. Too many people today just want it easy. I put myself through college, worked full time while getting my first masters degree and borrowed and paid off the second one. No one gave me shit but a loving, stable home. The money and opportunity I did on my own.

How anyone can fail in the United States of America is beyond me.. Those of you saying you can't succeed because of the system are a bunch of lazy whiners, get off your ass and get to work if you want more money. Stop asking government to take it from someone who earned it and give it to you. Earn it. Your parents should have had this talk with you before you left home

This is some of the most myopic crap I've read in a long time.
You had a stable loving home unlike many of the poor in this country who grew up in single parent households in neighborhoods riddled with violence with little opportunity for any kind of employment. Even worse, over 2 million children are homeless in this country. This line of thinking that everyone can make it in a country with a trickle-UP based economy is simply nonsense. No doubt you're a white male who has never known any serious adversity, so you had a huge advantage over as an example children of color with a father in prison and a Mom working three jobs just to meet shelter clothing and food requirements.
Where we DO agree is regarding people who have options and don't take advantage of them.
I've done extremely well, and feel very fortunate, but there are millions of people in this country who are in dire straits from various forms of adversity that do not have the options many of us have.
I'll refrain from commenting on a post like yours coming from someone with a supposed Masters degree. Your parents should have taught you critical thinking skills before you left home.

I like how you ram a sick up your ass without any actual point

Tissue?

I believe a Tampon, Midol and Bonbons are needed instead of a tissue...

Yeah that's always a convenient response for you cons huh? Blame Obama. It makes thinking simpler for you. Of course like i said these issues have been going on for DECADES.

Simple for us? Here are the last two sentences in your post:

The middle class is shrinking.

Republicans hold office.

Seems like you're doing a bit of blaming yourself.

Republican inhibit real progress.

It depends on what you consider real progress.
Republicans like kicking international ass so they support Military R&D.

Well when the Government make it impossible to start a small business because of regulations make it harder to get ahead in life, so yeah I can see how it is hard for some like me.

The financial capital to start out with today is not the same as it was when I started my first business. Also the regulations today make it more costly, so yeah it is harder.

Your opinion is based on someone working for someone and for me I prefer to work for myself ( well for my clients ) and not for another person as my boss unless again it is my clients.

People have to make the choice and sacrifice and those in states like California have a harder time running a small business than in a state like Texas.

So yeah it can be hard.

Now what you have to say to my response?

For many years (since the 70's anyway) the left has been promoting single-parent households, promoted promiscuity, giving children "rights" and doing whatever they can to create more government dependents.

.

The so-called left has never promoted that. The left promotes birth control and family planning,

and the Right calls it genocide.

So what party does N.O.W. affiliate themselves with?

Trump's four bankruptcies must equal making it.

If you own 100 companies and only 4 go bankrupt that's a pretty good record. You realize his casino in Atlantic City was only one of many which went bankrupt due to sky high NJ taxes and casino's springing up in other nearby states which gutted Atlantic City's casino business right. In short your post is dishonest and ignorant.

How many go out of business in Vegas ?? There's 100's there

LOL don't ever start a business, trust me on this.

So, if my companies go bankrupt four times, screwing others but I get rich in the process and make it big on number five, I'm a winner?

Business is clearly over you libs heads, stick to government jobs.

Gee, a republican blaming others…again.

OMG yet another liberal who has no grasp of business or how vampire Democrats suck the life out of businesses and ruin them.

The OP said stop blaming others.
But lets unpack your “logic”.

You say “vampire Democrats suck the life out of businesses and ruin them”. By that logic, every business in an industry that had the live “sucked out of it” should have failed.

But only Drumpfs and some others did.

Other casinos in Atlantic City are still open. Why did Drumpf’s Taj Mahal fail (1 year after it opened) ? Surely the regulations were the same for the ones that are still open…

Trump’s Plaza Hotel in NYC filed bankruptcy. Other hotels in NYC are still open. I know, I’ve stayed at them. Why did his go belly up?

Your asinine argument that regulations forced just him out of business is as full of shit as you are.

Must suck to see your Messiah file bankruptcy 4 times in less than 20 years.

PS: Where are his tax returns?

Donald doesn't pay no tax either. And he got a hand out.

Cool. Anything on my OP?

Yeah, the gummit didn't cause the meltdown ... unless you consider a lack of regulatory oversight of lenders a cause.

Actually Bill Clinton signed the deregulation that removed the once very sharp dividing lines between banks, insurance companies and investment firms which made too big to fail possible

And it was GOP legislation. Of course nothing went wrong until Boooshie regulators came in and the market shifted from F+F to GOP crony private companies.

and toxic assets. Great job. Of course the corrupt GOP world depression has nothing to do with ME chaos or anything...
