Everyone at the table (sister, her husband, her adult kids, me) with the EXCEPTION of myself were complaining about liberals and how much the government spends on its employees (make work jobs) and the usual crap about liberals (and they know I am a liberal) being on government support, blah, blah, blah.
The kicker... I was the only person NOT taking government money (My brother-in-law is on full disability and works part time off the books, my two nieces work for the county government, my nephew and his wife both work for the state government).
I make the most money of any of them (senior technical person at a large high tech company) and I paid for the entire dinner (my sister and her kids did cook it). I pay more in taxes than any of them make in a year. I'm happy to pay taxes but I get so f'king tired of listening to this crap.
I almost got up and left.
Years later, I have cut off contact with most of them. I'm sure they all voted for Trump.
