The USA turned its back on my people
Advertisements [?]
how many of you agree with that idea?

I come from the working class and i am 32. i was born into a usa in which my parents could live as such.

one salary from a job such as mechanic, plumber, carpenter, factory worker, municipal worker etc meant good benefits and a salary high enough to

buy a home
buy a new american car every 5 years or so so that the 2 car fleet never had a car more than 10 yrs old
pay for college for 3 or 4 kids
have a motorcycle or fishing boat
have money to enjoy 2 or 3 weeks of vacation


ON ONE GOD DAMNED SALARY!

that america is gone. my people, the working class, have been sold out. if you cant get a fancy education you are basically fucked as less and less union jobs are left each month. i really and truly hate the usa for that. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3bZzM4s0Hgs


and i let you know that i am born in the usa and lived there the first 24 years of my life.
