How do people feel when they've done what is right in life, worked hard, raised their family right, contributed to their communities and nation, shown good character as well as endurance, and possesses a Godly set of standards to be honored in life, yet only to see complete idiots making 6 and 7 figures, and worse being in government positions that allows them dominion over you, and even worse than that affecting policy that is even crazier than they are ????

I watch and listen to these Democrats and their idiocy, and I am just amazed by it all.

Comparison is the thief of joy. I’d say if you’ve done what is right and live in a comfortable home, have plenty of food, extra money for eating out and theater shows, and an interesting vacation every year, you should be quite happy.

Bullshit. You can get "necessities" just from working at McDonalds.

Agree, although one may have to crawl before they can walk, however survival is possible when one truly puts in the effort until they can step up another rung on the ladder of life.

Agree, but don't you expect more from those who are supposed to be your peers or leader's when they are in leadership positions up and down the spectrum ??
So what you describe in one example is a basic middle class family structure, but is it so bad to expect those who are around the outer edges of that family structure, to then at the very least represent the family in ways that the family can be proud of, respectful of, and in trusting of ?????
Does Americans have representation that it can be proud of, and in trusting of these day's anymore ???

I'd say it's fewer and farther in between these days.

I don’t get it. Why wouldn’t the family be proud of providing a comfortable middle-class lifestyle for itself?

It’s not like they’re on welfare!

You are misunderstanding my response.

Back on topic - It's not about the family not being proud about what it is doing for itself, but the topic is having stone cold idiots trying to win over these families or citizen's without respecting their ability to make choices that have benefited them in the way that you described.

We have to get back to judging people based upon their character's in life, and if the character is crazy and bad, then Americans need to distance themselves from such character's ASAP.

It was years ago. My grandfather's funeral. The largest funeral I had ever attended, until my fathers. Grandpaw was five foot nothing, a farmer, a plumber, raised a migrant farm worker. An amazing poker player, and although I never knew it growing up, he could not read or write.

Dad whispers in my ear. "These people, they are the salt of the earth. Don't you ever forget it". These wealthy people, they don't have a father like I had. They don't have a leader. They know not from where their power comes. They have no respect for the very people whose shoulders they stand upon. Entitled, self-absorbed, consider themselves "special". No, you don't get bonus points for climbing out of the right womb. Or at least you shouldn't. Carry your weight, live up to your responsibility, have HONOR.
