Real wages have plummeted since Trump's tax cut (remember when they were supposed to increase?)

The American Dream is dead. We tried. They tried harder. The rich get richer and the poor get poorer. Johnny Rotted loves trump.

Smoke a bowl, drink a beer, take a nap... forget about it.

It’s done.

It is for you.

Fortunately for me I never took much stock in the opinions of people who think like you.

In 1989 I quit my strawberry picking job (lasted 4 days) and was living in a car.

Today I’m doing much better.

My path to where I am now was not a linear one. I’ve been fired, had businesses fail, did ok for awhile, lost it all and got back up again.

I never once believed, as you do, that the American dream is dead.

It’s dead for you and that is entirely your own fault.

Duffy, while I agree with a lot of what you say, and find a big chunk of it amusing, "It’s dead for you and that is entirely your own fault" is too short sighted to let go.

Damn fool luck has a huge part in any and every businesses success. The old saying "it is better to be lucky than good" has never been more true than today.

Zuckerberg had one good idea, and look where it got him.

I’ve been very unlucky.

I worked my ass off to get where I am.

1knowsnothing will never realize his potential because he doesn’t believe he has any.

I’m nearing retirement. I’ve never been unlucky.
