Circle talk, JT.
Your beliefs, opinions stand in direct contrast to the very folks who voted Trump in. The middle class, blue collar voter - the ones you say you side with, but obviously do not.
This isn't a slave state. No one forces you to work for any man. If the wages you are making makes you eligible for welfare, find another job. Or two. The responsibility for providing financial support for you and your family isn't the responsibility of some CEO and it dam sure should not be the government. If you are able bodied, the responsibility is YOURS!
How do you think my views are in contrast to the blue collar voters? I am 100% blue collar. At one time I made minimum ($1.45) wage running a chainsaw. I got more education and skills and made more. If you are hunting a job without a skill, you are at the mercy of the CEO.
Pay rate, JT not mercy. Your going to get paid what you're worth. Don't like it, move on. You're an no man's mercy unless you like it there. Like you said - get some education, learn a skill.
How do you think my views are in contrast to the blue collar voters? I am 100% blue collar Simple, you continue to vote straight line Yellow Dog Democrat although you profess the Party of Hillary is more about LGBT and minimum wag than improving the blue collar / union workers situation. Lock step, this election you did the same ol, same ol.
When the writing was on the wall every night the news reported on the Rust Belt States
Blue collar / union workers in the Rust Belt State who traditionally held to those beliefs trashed that sort of thinking past election and voted for what was in their best interest - the creation of jobs. And they did this to your face but you didn't realize then what was happening nor realize now what is happening. Don't feel bad. Hillary never saw it coming either
JT, I don't think Democrats and you in particular, realize the impact and the impact to come of the Democrats losing control of the Rust Belt States" blue collar and union workers. That is providing the Republicans can produce jobs. Good paying jobs.
Bottom line JT, the contrast between you and blue collar workers was / is you don't vote in their best interest nor do you write in their best interest. The world has moved on without you.
