40 billion in aid going “here”, 40 billion going “there”, but where’s the 40 billion in increases to hard working Americans?

I’m sick of hearing about how all these other countries and industries getting bail outs and wtf else is going on… stimulus money for people to just sit around with their entitlement attitudes, acting like they’re afraid to go outside anymore, what about the hard working people that haven’t had raises in years and have been working all throughout these tumultuous times? Huh?

The fact that these industries do not pay up to keep people moving up in life is exactly their downfall, they are making people give up on a career in the workforce. Something needs to change and fast.

We are not rewarding people properly anymore for their efforts.

Why would the government care about you? You are a labor pool and a resource they manage, that's all you are. They keep you dumb and compliant so you don't push back

[Asker]

Yep I agree with everything you’re saying and I’m well aware. Things are upside down, and I’m saying it’s about time things change.

Son, you find even 10 "hard working Americans" and you're lucky.

You're a decaying nation that's been living beyond its means for decades. You would have collapsed like Rome were it not for the fiscal cliff, pillage of other nations, and debt policies propping you up.

You're living off a credit card.

Rest assured all foreign assistance is 1% of the budget.


Maybe ask why all patriotic corporations hide money overseas? Apple is technically an Irish company to the IRS. Funny, huh?

All these bailouts make there way into the pockets of us corporations

[Asker]

Yep and then they don’t pay out any increases or bonuses, at least in my experience. Let’s just move people sideways and act like they’re getting somewhere but in reality, it’s just an excuse not to move them upward. They act like you’re progressing but you aren’t.

The money is flowing upward. Recessions, banking collapses, wall street collapses, mortgage collapses are all engineered. For instance banking sector collapses by bankers incompetence and the taxpayer bail them out and they bankers get big bonuses.

Agree. The U. S. has givin just Ukraine alone over $50 billion dollars for their war, meanwhile Americans here struggling get the finger.

[Asker]

Man I feel like it’s been like 50 billion every month for months now. Every couple of weeks it’s like “Biden announces new X billion dollar ‘relief’ bill” like ok but where’s MY (and your) relief? Huh?

Some time ago I just told myself, I’m going to try to build the life I want, unapologetically. Maybe one day I can start making money for myself, because the system is f**ked

[Anonymous]

They don't come but if you realise a salery is just a few letters away from slavery, that's because they equate to the same thing

[Anonymous]

What exactly are you talking about? Ukraine funding?

[Asker]

More than just that. I’m just tired of seeing our money go into stuff that we see no benefit for. It’s hard enough out there for people. I have to make sacrifices and said goodbye to the life I had hoped for long ago, just to have a standard of living.

Living paycheck to paycheck is not a good standard of living. And I’m making supposedly an “above average” wage, so I don't know how most people do it out there.

[joeldalton]

It’s disgusting.
