I worked hard for over 50 years…. I need to rant for just a moment.  I'm getting old and I’ve worked hard all my life. I have created my reputation and legacy, the good and the bad, I didn't inherit my job or my income, and I have worked hard to get where I am in life. I have juggled my job, my family, and made many sacrifices up front to secure a life for my family. It wasn’t always easy and still isn't, but I did it all while maintaining my integrity and my principles. I made mistakes and tried to learn from them. I have friends of every walk of life and if you’re in my circle, it should be understood that I don’t have to remind you of what I’d be willing to do for you. However, I'm tired of being told that I have to "spread the wealth" to people who don't have my work ethic. People who have sacrificed nothing and feel entitled to receive everything. I'm tired of being told the government will take the money I earned, by force if necessary, and give it to people too lazy to earn it themselves. I'm really tired of being told I must lower my living standard to fight global warming, which no one is allowed to debate nor question, but formulated by $$ millionaires striving to fool the public and become $$ billionaires. I'm really tired of hearing wealthy athletes, entertainers and politicians of all parties talk like their opinions matter to the common man. I’m tired of any of them even pretending they can relate to the life and bank account that I have.  I'm tired of people with a life-long displayed sense of entitlement. I’m upset that I’m labelled a racist because I am proud of my heritage. I never stole anyone's land. I’m tired of being told I need to accept the latest fad or politically correct stupidity or befriending a group that’s intent on killing me because I won’t convert to their point of view. I don't believe in a 3rd, 4th or 5th sexual orientation, they simply have earned and deserve an 'it'.   I'm really tired of people who don't take responsibility for their lives and actions. Especially the ones that want me to fund them.  I'm tired of hearing them blame the government, or discrimination, or big-whatever for their problems. Yes, I'm really tired. But I'm also glad to be in the twilight of my life. Because mostly, I'm not going to have to see the wretched, depressing world these useless idiots are creating.  And lastly, because I have been shouting from an apple box or a rooftop, no one has listened or seemed to give a damn, so, "You reap what you sow, and so do your children". No one is entitled to anything. You have a choice to work, a choice to stay off drugs, a choice to make something of yourself. I have nothing to do with your choice. That's all on you. You are entitled to what you earn.

PEACE

 

 
Correct Sir!

You and I, like many others are fortunate we live where we live so we can say what we say. 

 
I agree 100% with this. Many people feel this way but if you speak up you are branded as some kind of evil being just because you don’t conform to others beliefs. At this stage in my life I don’t care if someone gets offended. ChEFF you rock !!!

 
I get this 100%, funny thing(not really funny) We swapped our healthcare from my company to Janelle's(Southwest) because it was half the cost and we were trying to get ready for my possible job transition. My check went up half of my saved cost instead of the entire about... the Gov decided they wanted the other half and just reached in and took it. I was paying 1K per month, hers is 500 per month, The Gov just snagged another $6k from me :angry:  to piss away how they like, including for all these non-working causes

Well said ChEFF. I've worked hard all my life and earned everything I have. Made many mistakes with family and have paid the price. Retired 13 years ago, bought my toys twice because of a divorce. Why should they work, are government gives them everything for free, no strings attached. This all has to STOP. 

"HJ"    :ex:     :morebeer:

 
Well said, I agree 100%!

To give to others who haven't earned it is beyond me.

The whole Everyone gets a trophy...no need to earn it!

Eff this society of lazy entitled complaining A-HOLES!

 
This is Chat GPT's rebuttal to the original statement, I was curious what he/she would say.   Funniest part is when they included Climate Change. :classic_laugh:

It sounds like you've lived a life filled with hard work, integrity, and a strong sense of personal responsibility. Your frustration is palpable, especially when faced with what feels like demands to share your hard-earned wealth with those who haven't demonstrated the same level of commitment.

However, it's important to consider a few points:

  1. Not Everyone Has the Same Starting Point: While you've worked hard and built your life from the ground up, not everyone has had the same opportunities or circumstances. Some individuals face systemic barriers, discrimination, or economic hardships that make it incredibly challenging to achieve the same level of success, regardless of their work ethic.
  2. The Role of Empathy and Social Responsibility: While you rightfully take pride in your achievements, it's also essential to recognize the value of empathy and social responsibility. Society functions best when those who are more fortunate are willing to support those in need, whether through charitable giving, social programs, or advocating for systemic change to address inequality.
  3. Complexity of Social Issues: Issues like wealth redistribution, climate change, and social justice are complex and multifaceted. While you may disagree with certain approaches or policies, dismissing them entirely as politically correct or driven solely by self-interest oversimplifies the conversation. Constructive dialogue and critical thinking are crucial in finding effective solutions to these challenges.
  4. Respectful Dialogue: While it's natural to feel frustrated when your viewpoints aren't acknowledged or respected, it's essential to engage in respectful dialogue rather than resorting to blanket statements or dismissals. Meaningful change often arises from open-minded discussions where diverse perspectives are considered.

In conclusion, while your frustration is valid, it's worth considering the broader context and complexities of the issues at hand. Empathy, social responsibility, and respectful dialogue can pave the way for a more equitable and inclusive society where everyone has the opportunity to thrive.
