It is not just about working hard and earning things. It is about choices made and how you apply what you have learned. I learned from those who fought for us and worked hard to make things better. I learned from them that healthcare and social security were sacred. I learned from them that yes unions could be corrupt but their good contributions far outweighed that. I learned from them and applied it to choices I made in my life.
A lot of people preaching and pointing fingers now are the same ones who sold out and now want to behave as if everyone sold out. Not true and I am tired of this crap. They need to own up to their collusion in national policies that got us here. Stop pretending some hardworking chump is responsible.
