..........I’m a proud to be right wing 49 yr old black democrat... i.e. an American born, loving, feeling, angry, sad, liberal(socially) who love's the USA and its military.

Just a couple of rants of my own about where we're all at here in the good ol USA:

I follow history somewhat and believe in general we’ll all be okay

We need more Virginia’s & F-22’s

I love IL2-1946 & SH4

I pay taxes, I figure around 29% total when rounding out fed-state-ssec and misc local extras they pile on.

I don’t like paying but I’ve been doing it since my 1st job 33 yrs ago, funny huh, I’m used to it. I would like to think I’m getting my moneys worth but depending on the day of week or what or who i come across during the day, changes my opinion.

I make about 45k, own a home, have a wife & kids and a 401k from work and that’s about the extent of my financial knowledge.

I believe we’ll be okay, I not leaving or quitting

I got debt but my heads above water.

My money doesn’t go as far as it did 10 years ago, is that real or not, I’m not sure but it seem that I pay more for less, ( have you looked at a cereal box lately?)

Liberals aren’t the end of the world
conserv's aren’t the end of the world

I believe we’ll be okay, I not leaving or quitting

Obama isn’t satan just like Bush wasn’t, they're just men, possibly good men
Bush wasn’t satan just like Obama isn’t, they’re just men, possibly good men

Its the intolenerce, hate, bitching, complaining, I’m leaving, its somebody else’s fault and problem, I wont do it, I wont pay it, you cant make me, you cant stop me, get out of my way, what’s taking so long, I don’t want it, why cant I have it.............creed that’s poisoned our county against ourselves.

We blame welfare chiselers, tea baggers, defense industry workers, professors at college, Nancy p, Michelle B, Rush and big Ed Schultz, its bull*$*$, blame ourselves.

I believe we’ll be okay, I not leaving or quitting

We don’t like to look in the mirror though, at least very long anywise.

Have you noticed the crappy roads? But nobody wants to pay

Were told our schools suck but, cut funding to balance budgets

Don’t throw money at it, spend it where it will do the best for all of us

Have you noticed the seeming lack of good earn a living, middle of the road, Jobs available so you can save a little and buy a car or house.

I believe we’ll be okay, I not leaving or quitting

I recall Unions being blamed for a lot of Business\labor’s ills years ago but it seems there aren’t enough around, on average, now to blame, here and now

After a little sacrifice we used to be able to get ahead with determination and hard work.
We still can.

We never hear about what we can do, we only talk about what cant-wont-hate.

Our parents\grandparents came back from some pretty bad times\wars and decided that they could and would do what it takes to work, start a business, raise a family, and yes Pay TAXES.

All of the bitterness between us is selfish and destructive.

Nothing will ever get accomplish if we continue down this route

I believe we’ll be okay, I not leaving or quitting

You can’t cut taxes and spending and make a prosperous nation in our current situation
You can’t raise taxes and spending and make a prosperous nation in our current situation.

We need to band together and meet in the mighty middle, with both right and left solving problems for the middle majority.

Neither can do it alone.

Stop hating on each other

I’m not leaving, I’m still going to work tomorrow and bring home .70 of my dollar earned, turn on my PC, scope out this forum, check my email, see what’s going on in the world, suck down a 2 finger scotch, and when the wife goes to bed, start another mission.

It’s great to be an American, despite the high and probably going higher taxes

I believe we’ll be okay, I not leaving or quitting

Out!
Spence

P.S. I guess that was more than a couple of rants, sorry
