I don't think a lot of people realize how poor a lot of Americans are (money, government)

I work construction and yes most labor jobs are 10-15, but most illegal labor usually make 20-25, because a lot of the illegal are skilled learned from an early age. I know mason in their early twenties that have 15 years of talent. been taught by their family business started at six, seven. Beside they bring a very strong work ethics, they know one error and they get ran off. That some of the reason a lot of construction company only hire mexico workers, they can actually get work out of them. and no they don't paid substandard wages. I know none that make under $20

I understand through my own research and study that fractional reserve banking, fiat currency, usury, and limited liabilities are all constructive fraud perpetrated on the American people.
You don't. What's your excuse?

I'm an American, so these things would have affected me to.

So why am I doing great instead of wallowing in self-pity loser land?

With food prices going up, we are all going to be poor.

You aren't doing great, that's the point. 200k is peanuts compared to what has been stolen from you.

I was never entitled to anything, so what was "stolen" from me?

It's worth noting my family and I literally want for nothing since we manage our money well.

For anyone who thinks that all the poor people are there because they are lazy, or made bad choices, I invite you to watch this video.

A person decided to give a homeless man $100, and then follow him to see how he spent it. As expected, the man went to the liquor store...and if you stop watching there, then you can continue to feel like you are right, and act smug and arrogant when talking about poor people. If you continue to watch, you will see what he actually did with the money, and you will also see the guy who gave him the hundred, and who was following him, catch up to him and pull him to the side to talk to him. He finds out how the guy became homeless in the first place...it is not always because people are lazy, or stupid, or make dumb choices...

Sometimes life happens, and it doesn't work out like it does on paper...or in some peoples minds. Sometimes, it's just really crappy luck, and sometimes it's a domino effect...where one bad thing after another happens, and some of those people end up in situations they never thought that they would.

Not everyone who is poor is a lazy, drug addled, alcohol swilling, idiotic parasite. Sometimes...sh** just happens. Last thing anyone should do is kick a person while they're down.
