[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We are immigrants. Legal. We did the work, Americans didn’t. Both my parents were educated and these were second jobs. No fun. It was all work. All the time, our privilege was and is that we were hard working and loyal to our family. We didn’t have abandoned fathers or money spent on nails and phones.

I do have a cousin now similarly brought up who pays his restaurant workers minimum wages (legally) and laughs all the way to the bank as we all pay his workers 20-30% in tips. These workers are privileged they work in a restaurant which is relatively less taxing than say someone loading grocery shelves in the night shift and doing a thankless job without tips.

This is a great country where colleges can legally ask for $80k in a single year of tuition despite sitting on millions and millions of dollars.

It’s also a great country that rewards you for having as many children as you can birth even if you have no means to care for them.

It’s a great country where you can become a millionaire even if you are here illegally.

OP, you shouldn’t complain so much.[/quote]

Haha. Good one. +1[/quote]
