I have only ghosted one person once in my entire life. I only dated her for a few weeks but she was looking for a “savior”. She called out of nowhere to visit her when she was on suicide watch due to an incident with her ex boyfriend. I showed up and gave optimistic support but when I drove back home I felt myself getting really pissed off. She was looking for a “nice guy safety net” and I wanted to nothing to do with that bullshit.

It was back in my 20s. But in retrospect I could of just texted her why I didn’t want to date her anymore vs just blowing her off.

It has given the government more and more intrusion into you privacy and your life, taken more an more of what YOU earned to be spent by someone else and consumed more and more of your precious time to have to deal with.

Now we are paying tens of billions of dollars to pamper and attract illegal aliens? Who wants this stuff to happen? Not the ordinary citizens. So who?

Does this even sound like America to you?

What ever happened to "Land of the free?" How are you free when the average American in 2024 will be giving every penny they earn From January 1 to April 18th to the government? You are having FOUR MONTHS of your hard work stolen every year.

It's bad enough you are being robbed. But you also need to hire someone to figure out how much they will rob? Are you kidding?

This is unAmerican. We need to SCRAP the income tax system and come up with one that is not filled with corruption and that is simple and comprehensible to the average American.

It's not only a matter of fairness, it's a matter of FREEDOM!
