[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Most people are living paycheck-to-paycheck. I know I am. I make $85,000/year but I take home $59,950 AFTER TAXES and Social Security. So I am struggling to get by. I have over $30,000 in student loans and I live with 4 roommates. Even if I were making 6 figures, I'd get killed in taxes.

My income bracket is like the top 30 percent for a single male, which is incredibly sad. I know lots of folks my age struggling to find good employment. Employers are taking advantage of the poor economy by creating "internships" that pay peanuts and "part-time gigs" so as to avoid paying for healthcare.

I mean, most of the jobs created now are Uber jobs and Amazon warehouse jobs. Not exactly the type of jobs needed to make a living. And if you "get educated" and "learn skills", you will still get penalized during TAX SEASON!

So I get why folks voted Trump. The economy sucks. Hillary didn't offer any solutions to fix the economy. Trump made his campaign specifically about JOBS! JOBS! JOBS! I completely understand why people fell for this mad man. Yes, he's a mad man and a moron but the economy has improved and stock market is up... so I am rethinking  my opinion about him.[/quote]

You shouldn't depend on the government to solve your problems.  Why aren't you pulling yourself up by your bootstraps?  Why did you agree to $30,000 in student loans?

Since you don't think people should depend on the government to solve their problems, I assume you are opposed to Medicaid, food stamps, Obamacare subsidies, welfare, and subsidized housing. Why don't those leeches just pull themselves up by the bootstraps?[/quote]

Well, your assumptions are completely wrong.  My comments were to a person who voted for Trump whose party's platform is all about pulling yourself up by your bootstraps.  Why would anyone vote republican expecting the government to solve their problems?  It's nonsensical.[/quote]
