unless you are black, hispanic, gay, poor, disabled... then you really don't have those chances..
Now, we USED to have that, when we had good union jobs and fair wealth distribution... Now the american dream is starting off with a shitload of college debt you can never pay off, waiting until 30 to have kids... that's all kinds of fucked up.
Nothing stopping them from going to a trade school except having to work with your hands, but you'd be a lot less in debt at the same time.
Name me one way a black, hispanic, poor has no chance at the American dream. As for the disabled, we have SS disability for them, and if they can, they could continue to work to make even more money.
If you can't become something in the United States of America, you can't make it anywhere. The US gives ANYBODY the most opportunity to become something.....anything they desire. In fact most of our millionaires today are self-made people--not people who were handed down money like your movies or sitcoms tell you.
Hah... want to hear something hilarious.. A kid I grew up with got a job as a Garbage man in Chicago, and he makes about $70,000 a year. And he sits in his garbage truck all day listening to Hate Radio, kind of like you do, and is racist and right wing as all shit.
And when I pointed out to him that if it weren't for the Democrats, if the people he supported got his way, he'd probably be replaced with a private company that pays people $18.00 a hour, he was very, very upset.
Funny thing. I think the garbage man should be paid a fair and decent wage... he does a lot more good than the ass-kissing middle manager at an investment company.
Yeah, your garbage man makes 70K per year, and then you libs can't figure out why your cities and states are in debt all the time like California.
I call them slave rapists, because that's what they were. They owned slaves. That's the original sin of this country, that we talked about Freedom, but the constitution was designed to protect the political interests of those who owned slaves.
And gee, sorry, guy, "Saving us from the horror of being Canadians" is hardly something to get excited about.
Yes they owned slaves because slave ownership was normal at the time. It still goes on today in other countries. Human ownership was as common back then as owning a pet is here today. But the reason we have the Republican party is because it was formed as the anti-slave party.
The rules are cheating the concept of holding an election... why hold an election at all if you just ignore what the people CLEARLY said?
As explained repeatedly, so two or three cities or states don't run the entire country--that's why.
