(13,582 posts)per year now and am fairly happy with that. It took me 11 years at my current job to get up that high and have some good vacation benefits.
I'm 56, voted democrat all my life, have been pro union, never resented paying my fair share in taxes, though I would change a hell of a lot about how that money is spent.
I know a lot of guys like me that expected to have their dad's jobs. Graduate from high school (maybe barely or not) and get on at a place that pays good money and retire. They fell for the republican's bullshit and now it's screwing them. Because they wuz learnt to hate paying taxes, wuz afraid libruls wud git their gunz or whatever. They took their votes and sold them out every step of the way, and managed to make them proud they did it! Freakin' tools!
Sorry pal! Trump voters may mostly have been above our class, but it was enough of our dumbass peers that fell for it since the 80's that have screwed us.
