Why didn't they move to farm country and take the $10/hr jobs that are offered to American workers? Americans used to move to where the jobs are. Now, they just sit on their asses and complain about how the government doesn't bring them jobs.

The Great Recession changed people's moving rates. If you think people aren't still scared, then I assume you don't know anyone affected by the Great Depression.

The Great Depression saw lots of people moving for jobs, and it was a damn hell harder to move back then than it is today. Spare me the "you don't know what it's like". My father was a blue collar worker in a manufacturing plant who got laid off; I also at one point got laid off. Neither of us blamed the government. We updated our skills and found a new job. That's called personal responsibility. Oh, and he had limited English skills, to boot.

Thank you. I'm black and my dad had a 3rd grade education. You know what, he didn't blame anyone. He sent his kids to college. My parents SOLD THEIR HOUSE to send me to college. They made a huge sacrifice. Poor white folks need to make the same sacrifices. Stop playing the victim card.

Now that my parents made the sacrifice, I am a lawyer and I will enjoy reading the classics and enjoying fine wine

That sounds a bit discriminatory against whites TBH. Do you know a lot of poor white people? How are you so certain that they suck so much more than poor non-white people as a rule? Are you genuinely unfamiliar with minorities who play the victim?

You honestly seem kinda privileged. No one paid my way through college or law school but me.

FWIW, I paid my own way through law school. My parents sold their house. Could your parents have sold theirs? My parents thought the sacrifice was worth it. They didn't ask for anything, including from the government - through student loans. Oh, and I did work in college. I am privileged, but because my parents sacrificed and told me to excel in school. They didn't sit around waiting for the government to get them jobs and save them from their poor educations.

Same reason the heroin and crack epidemics that are plaguing white communities right now were not worth addressing 15-20 years ago. Instead it was 'throw the users in jail'. Now its 'save my baby'. The hypocrisy is amazing.

this this this this this.

it was DISGUSTING on DCUM about how everyone, including liberals, were FAWNING all over krispy kreme and john kasich when they talked about the heroin epidemic.

Why do voters in the red states think Trump is going to solve all of their problems? They already have Republican mayors, governors, state legislatures, congressmen and senators and yet, things are still bad for them. If they really want change, why not enact it on the local level? Why do they think Trump will change anything? I see no explanation for it beyond being brainwashed by Fox News and the Alt Right and not having the brain power to really think about their lot.

Garrison Keillor has said it best:

We liberal elitists are now completely in the clear. The government is in Republican hands. Let them deal with him. Democrats can spend four years raising heirloom tomatoes, meditating, reading Jane Austen, traveling around the country, tasting artisan beers, and let the Republicans build the wall and carry on the trade war with China and deport the undocumented and deal with opioids and we Democrats can go for a long brisk walk and smell the roses.

I will enjoy my tax cuts under Trump and if none of those people are better off in 4 years. Not my problem.

I am actually sick of hearing the people in red states being called uneducated. The entire USA is red, except for the larger cities. Not having a college degree, is not equal to uneducated and I am sure there are plenty of college educated people in the red states. College education gives you a job,that is pretty much it! Why are 18 yrs old's allowed to vote if they are not smart enough to elect a president without a college education? This is America. There shouldn't be uneducated people in this country. Then that is our biggest problem, which has not been fixed but all the "great" presidents we have had so far. Stop calling people uneducated.

This rant pretty much exemplifies why people need an education - half of it was unintelligible.

DP. No it wasn't. Your laugh-and-point attitude lost you one election. How many more you wanna lose?

NP. The rant was right. A college degree is nice, but most people don't have one. If a HS diploma is "uneducated", then as a country we should increase schooling beyond the US level. Or if we're not going to do that, then stop calling people uneducated.

Sorry, PP, allowing your parents to sell their house in order to pay for your college degree is nuts.

It is true. We tried to be good. We tried to help them. Now, let's just enjoy how fabulously wealthy we will be with all those tax cuts, have great meals, enjoy the arts, and hang out in trendy cafes.

+1

I am a big supporter of ACA or at least keeping it and fixing the issues. I have been paying 30 to 33% in taxes for the past 10 yrs which has been supporting many of our veterans, schools, some of the Trump supporters.

Now, I'll enjoy my tax cuts and lower healthcare premiums. I will spend my money on vacations overseas. I will do what Trump supporters have been asking for - let Trump's government deal with it all.

It's not about you, and you sound like a narcissist.

I actually heard a Republican person on the radio today stating that a college educated person on the midwest is not the same as a college educated person on the east coast. He was essentially calling all people in the midwest dumb - and he was a republican.

AHAHAHA? We did, did we? Dude I 'only' make 120K a year. Guess at the net worth of the man you elected? And his friends. Oh, this is going to be a fun four years. Never did I think the Tea Party would do a 180 and elect a Manhattan billionaire.

To the person who only makes 120K a year -- you live in a bubble if you think this is a small salary. Get out of Wash DC. In the rest of America, that is a very high salary.

Is it? Have you looked at Trump's tax plan? My HHI is $540K. Trump eliminates the AMT and our tax rate will be reduced. I told my husband and he jumped for joy. Thanks TRUMP!!! Oh, for all you middle class suckers, you don't really get a cut. Trump will literally save me thousands of dollars. No, I don't create jobs, but I will enjoy some extra vacations.

I voted for HRC, but now I'll just take my money and let middle america suffer. I don't care.

This here is a true HRC-style Dem. If they don't get their way, they stop caring about the suffering of the less fortunate.

And? Trump voters still won. You seem to be listing your HHI as if to make yourself feel better that you lost. Take your money and spend it all on handcrafted cat figurines, for all anyone cares. It has zero to do with Trump winning and the Trump voters that put him there.

It has everything to do with Trump winning. I'm saying thank you to Trump supporters. I will have tons more and most of the people who voted for Trump won't. I'm just pointing out that his tax plan helps people who already have money, but does very little for those who need the extra help.

Plenty of Trump supporters will. I have a trust fund, I'll certainly benefit from him being in power. Not why I voted for him, but certainly helps things. Plenty of the rural poor will benefit when he starts implementing some of the reforms he promised. I know you're gunning for the "Everyone is screwed but me!" angle, but it doesn't quite work.

Did they ever? I wonder if you could do a sociopathy test on Dems and see if there's a correlation. In the immortal words of Jennifer Aniston, "there seems to be a sensitivity chip missing."

No, it isn't. It was important for their kids. It changed all of our lives and my parents understood that. They bought another house. Don't tell me that you can't get out of poverty. You just aren't trying hard enough. You are lazy. Sound familiar?

You don't get it do you? Yes, my candidate lost the election but I'm laughing to the bank either way. My taxes are going to be lower, I'm still living in the city of my dreams, and you know what...maybe I'll even watch the orange demon at the inauguration. It's all gravy and when the next election comes around I'll put my money into an actual dem candidate chosen by the people.

You don't get it either, do you? Most of the people who post on DCUM are not the rural poor either. Most of the people on here have high incomes, and we'll be laughing all the way to the bank too. Except our team won. Period. And you making fun of poor people does literally nothing except make you look like a piece of shit and further alienate your cause from the electorate. It literally bothers no one here because I'd be willing to bet the vast majority of posters here are financially comfortable. Sorry it doesn't get to us.

But by all means... carry on. It lost you one election, why stop now! Come on, I'm sure there's some mean names or grade school jeers you can lob at them too? Let's get this going!

Agree that no one should sit around waiting for government to help them. I don't think that's exclusive to whites though.

My parents weren't good parents TBH. I'm doing it on my own.

I disagree with you about some stuff but you sound like someone I could respect.
