So am I... I sure as fuck feel for those that aren't though, and when I see them struggle daily I thank my lucky stars I'm blessed with the means to not have to rely on the government for any damn thing at all, and that I do ok in spite of, not thanks to, those cunts. Not everyone is born with a decent brain/mind, and for every one person that makes it out of the ghetto or trailer park or council sink estate, there are thousands and thousands who don't, and for who the odds are stacked against them higher than some of us had them. That's without getting into war vets, the disabled, the mentally ill, those hooked on prescription drugs because of doctors far too willing to dole out meds instead of real core treatment, and no doubt a bunch of other groups I can't think of off the top of my head. And don't get me started on the involuntarily homeless, that's a fucking crime in 2016 in 1st world countries.
And I'm just supposed to say fuck you to those less fortunate than myself? I'll say fuck you to lazy bums who don't want to help themselves, but a person is deluded if they think everyone in either the US or UK has an equal opportunity - not that there's anything 'wrong' with that per se... life isn't fair, tough shit - but I see many good friends struggle because whatever they do, the gov't wants to keep them down, and in the rat race, seemingly oblivious to the bloated overspending they do in the process.
In one way: well so what, there's too many people on the planet anyway, but the greater feeling I have is: why should the bloated, out-of-touch politicians continue to do the same old same old... just because I have sorta succeeded in spite of them? To just say fuck everyone else because I'm ok... I dunno man, as much as I am a capitalist, and most definitly not some bleeding heart leftie, I just can't do that
I've been homeless, a junkie, an alcoholic, and in jail - yes I pulled myself out of all of those, and these days am a (hopefully) productive member of society... that was mostly luck rather than judgement, so I'm very careful not to fall into pulling the ladder up and saying I'm alright Jack. How anyone with any kind of conscience, or hell even in fucking business, can think that things are 'fine' beggars belief... they may be doing ok, they may be doing well, they may be doing fucking fantastic, but to see no problem with the governmental system and the status quo is myopic to say the least.
