/——/ This makes you an enemy of the left.Ditto here. When I was young my parents were poor. I was poor. I was a loyal democrat working a minimum wage job. I remember supporting them because they were for raising the minimum wage and I remember getting my first raise in the minimum wage from $2.85 per hour to $3.15 per hour, a whopping increase of about $50 per month, minus taxes. Then, one day, it hit me like a ton of bricks. If my only goal in life that I strived for was waiting for my friends, the democrats, to raise my minimum wage, I was ALWAYS going to be poor. So, I turned Republican and I actually did pull myself up by my bootstraps (okay, I didn't really have any boots) and grabbed the bull by the horns (okay, I didn't really have a bull either) and I improved my lot in life all by myself into eventually owning my own business making over 100K per year.
