Z, I've been saying the same things for a long time on here too. Not so much about the rich as it was about the jobs being outsourced.
In my mind NAFTA may be the worst piece of legislation passed in my lifetime, maybe even longer.
It's lead to hopelessness for millions of Americans. Hardworking, prideful people that lost a job that supported their families. Now they depend on the Govt to survive, it burns my ass every time I think how we were sold out.
It's no coincidence that the rise in drug use ballooned during this same timeframe.
Employers also provided insurance, without that we now have obamacare.
None of this shit is going to change until we demand it. I'm sick of of the bullshit diversions that come up every election cycle, abortion, gay marriage, guns, global warming, war on women now we are supposed to mad about GD transgendered bathroom rights, I'm f*cking sick of it!
We're giving our great nation away to make a few jackasses in Washington and New York filthy rich, to hell with them. We've got people who no longer see it as a disgrace to be on govt handouts, they grew up that way, and so did most of their friends.
Something HAS to change, the path we're on doesn't end well I'm afraid.
