Oh my God! I am so sick to death of Republicans. I know that's not nice to say. And it's not like I hate all Republicans ever or even actually hate them. I just REALLY don't understand them. People who have money for trips, vacation homes, new cars, and ect... I don't really think they have a clue what life is like for people without money. And they honestly seem to think that if you don't have money that it is proof you're lazy. You clearly have no work ethic. And clearly WANT hand outs. As a mother of three who put myself through college, while raising them by myself after my marriage failed and working three jobs to make ends meet. Don't tell me that I am lazy. I worked three part time jobs not one of them offered benefits of any sort. I couponed and shopped sales. I scoured the racks of second hand stores and picked through yard sales. I am not living some sort of fast paced rich lifestyle. For months I didn't eat meat because for awhile I could not afford enough for me to eat it too. Now I just don't eat it. But for awhile it was a necessity. I am not deluded into thinking that if people are in a bad place that they are lazy. Because oddly I am aware that people's situations are often so much more complicated than we will ever know. Yes there are many lazy people. Some of them are poor and some of them are not. I know a guy with a great salary job working for his brother who literally does nothing.. he sleeps all day. He lies about what he has done for work. He routinely spends the working hours he is awake playing games. He makes like 4 or 5 k a month... maybe he's not "rich" but he makes more than me and I know he's not earning it. But getting off the topic of lazy people, I disbelieve that the majority of poor people are lazy. Most of the people I know are poor. Very few of them are lazy. So many of them fight to eat and pay the bills. Clearly they are lazy.. seriously WHAT THE FUCK EVER!
Things won't get better if they go on as they have. I am glad that people are trying to mobilize to make a change. And I am tired of other people thinking they have the right to shut them down because they don't want to hear it. If I have to listen to people go on and on about the right to bear arms or religion or no religion or whatever, then they can listen to me. I am proud to be an American. I love my country. I vote. I try to be up on the issues. But things in our country are broken right now! And something has to change. So I am happy to know that there are people out their embracing their ideas and peacefully protesting for change.
