Me: Do you want me to turn it off?
Dad: No. Play the next one.
As an American, and a black person, I wish others in my race knew our history with America.
Really, it’s not what you think it is.
LOL Chris Evans didn’t even become remotely attractive to me until he donned the Captain America garb. lol Patriotism is hot as fuck.

Okay, here we go. I fully understand the concept of the 99%, in a nutshell, they basically states that it’s not fair, and it is therefore unjust, for the top 1% to control so much, thus, the lower 99% have a right - since we are the majority - of having a bigger stake in our financial & economic freedom. In other words, we as the 99% deserve a bigger piece of the pie.
I fully understand what the concept is but, its execution and socialistic/communistic ideology are what turn me off. Especially since so many, if not all, of the 99%ers want free shit. Healthcare? That should be free, right? Education? That should be free too! A minimum living wage? Hey, it’s working for France it can work for us! Bullshit. What the 99% Occunts fail to notice is that everything they want IS FUCKING AVAILABLE RIGHT THE FUCK NOW. All they have to do is work for it.
It never ceases to impress me how much of a bunch of entitlement whores the 99% Useful Idiots believe themselves to be. Who the fuck is anyone to demand anything from somebody who doesn’t control their lives? Especially when they demand from the very same people who pay close to 70% OF ALL THE TAXES in the U.S.! Truth be told, about 51% of all Americans DON’T FUCKING PAY A DIME, so now I pose the question: why doesn’t the 99% ask the lower 51% to pay their “fair share?” Still waiting on a response for that one.
I understand the concept alright because I once thought like you and guess what? It’s a dead end. Liberalism, Socialism and Communism all have one thing in common: It sounds good on paper but doesn’t work in real life. Wanna know why? Because not everyone is going to be a millionaire and some people will live in poverty but, not all will. Others will attain a financial dream, some will die trying. Still some may eventually attain an economic goal while others are content to stay right where they are. You see the beauty of the American experiment is that YOU are in control of what YOU want to do. Wanna be a doctor? Go study medicine, YOU can do that. In an economic rut? YOU can climb out – there is no other country that helps financially irresponsible people more than this country, for fuck’s sake, it’s actually rewarded sometimes. Not content with your living standard? YOU can better your standards.
What you shouldn’t do is ask for a handout. What you should do is pull yourself up by the bootstraps and make some form of change. A little background info: I was born and raised in Chicago, lived there for 27 years of my life. I left Chicago for several reasons and never looked back, I left with the clothes on my back and a vision of having a better life than “living at home wit my moms.” 6 years later? I have the American dream, I’ve (finally) graduated and I do plan on going back, I own a home, a wife and, most importantly, I want more. Living in the ideological cesspool of liberalism for 20+ years taught me that there was something better then a handout and that is, self accomplishment.
That’s right, self accomplishment. For most of my education I was told that racism would hold me back and that the government has to pass laws in order to level the playing field and that only the democrats are for us “hyphenated Americans.” And I really believed it, until I took stock of my parent’s work ethic: They worked hard, eventually got a chance to own property and eventually got enough money to own a business. All the while as I’m seeing my mother and father, Spanish speaking immigrants, make financial and economic gains, ALL of my American friends and their parents – mostly democrats – are still bitchin’ and moaning about their financial situation and how it isn’t fair that they don’t have what others have. That was when I realized that they were all losers.
They weren’t content with their stock in life and yet would never do anything to change it. I, after a huge downturn in my life became content with what life gave me and then one day, I decided I wanted more. I wanted more opportunities, more and better friends, more money, more chances, more difference, more goals to prove my mettle, more risk and, overall, more bite to my life. Plainly stated: I refused to stay content with what I had, so I went out there and did something about it.
In same exact manner that the first born American son of Spanish speaking immigrants can do it, so the fuck can ALL AMERICANS DO IT. The question is, do you want to do it? If you do, then it’s up to YOU to figure out how to achieve YOUR goals, it isn’t the states job nor is it the government’s job to help you attain YOUR goals. And that is what pisses me off about the 99% Fuck-offs, they expect to be spoon fed a diet of shit because they are alive. MOTHER FUCK THAT, you want healthcare? GO FUCKING BUY IT THEN, don’t expect me to pay for anything that YOU want. You want to go study but it’s too expensive? Better fucking start off at a community college and WORK – THAT’S RIGHT – WORK your way up. Angry that you can’t get ahead in life? Then fucking find some form of marketable talent and utilize it to the best of your ability.
Besides having my regular 9-5, 40+ hour a week job, I’m a personal tutor on the side. My wife, on top of her 40+ hour a week job, is a licensed realtor. That’s 4 different income streams that we’ve been able to attain and guess what? We also have a small house cleaning business that we are trying to prop up. That’s 5 income streams. And guess what? My wife just got an opportunity to earn extra income utilizing her talents for a local community organization. That’s 6 income streams. Did these incomes magically fall out of the fucking sky and into our laps? HELL THE FUCK NO. We worked for them, we strived for them, we sacrificed for them, we took risks for them, we lost money for them, we lost time for them but, guess what? It’s all worth it because now we are more financially better off than we’ve ever been.
This is why I can’t be a part of the 99% Brats, because they don’t represent me nor my work ethic nor my goals in life. They represent themselves as a motley group of socialist fucktards who can’t seem to win at life regardless of their so-called self avowed intelligence. I represent myself AS THE INDIVIDUAL not as part of the group and as soon as the 99% realize that it starts off with the individual first and what that individual needs, instead of placing an umbrella of pseudo-communistic beliefs over everyone, then they too will succeed. Let go of the groupthink mentality and do you, be yourself and amaze yourself at how much YOU can accomplish. To relish with fools is to only justify your stupidity.
