I'm part of what has become a sub-culture in America.

I served in in the military, a family tradition for over 90 years in my family.

I worked my ass off and put myself through college, took me 8 years to do it.

I got a decent job and worked my ass off for for 20 years. Then I started my own business and worked my ass off making sure my employees came first.

I raised 2 kids who are both in college and working, they support themselves and I pay for their education. They don't drink, do drugs and have never been arrested. They have manners and respect their elders.

I pay my taxes, pay my bills, don't use credit cards and could retire at any time, but I keep working because I keep people employed and I enjoy what I do.

I don't believe in handouts, social programs mismanaged by the government, spending $500,000 dollars to study the mating habits of purple frogs in winter when we have disabled veterans walking the streets hungry. I think people should have to perform community service to collect unemployment or welfare. If you stick out your hand asking me for a handout, it better be calloused from hard work or I'll unscrew your hand from your wrist.

In America, I am now part of the subculture called "The Establishment".
