MY LATEST RANT---FROM THE WHITE HOUSE TO THE WHORE HOUSE. PAY ATTENTION PEOPLE OUR PRIORITIES SEEM TO OUT OF WHACK!!

I HOPE TO HELL SOMEBODY IS GETTING RICH.  I keep seeing people complaining about everything from minimum wage workers wanting a raise to drug testing for people on welfare.  How did we as Americans get so one sided and such a sheepish mentality?  What happened to the "big picture" and thinking through our decisions before we spewed them out?  I guess it all went South when people who were born in the 20's and 30's started to become a rarity.  My grandmother always had something wise to say, and a story about how many different ways one should consider the outcome when having a "brilliant idea" or "cure all" for something.  People no longer seem to live by the constitution.  "Rights" as an American rarely get any talk time.  I haven't heard the 10 commandments mentioned in a conversation between parents and children in years, now that I think about it.  My facebook post was in response to another opinion on the McDonald's workers that dare to want a raise.  I hope Frank doesn't mind me adding his opinion which was one of my points as well.

It's time to slap the people working in fast food places!!

Share the hell out of this!Frank Ortiz If you don't like what you get Learn how to cook cause every fast food worker is a high school student and it's their first jobUnlike · Reply · 1 · 14 hrsFrank Ortiz Before you make an assumption some people that want the the 15.00 live in areas with the cost of living is high and you survive on 7.50 an hour and having to deal with asshole people every day for 8 to 10 he day stay home and cook your mealsUnlike · Reply · 1 · 14 hrsTami Tillman Slap the hell out of a system that doesn't give equal cost of living raises to everyone. That has people working fast food jobs yet can't afford to eat there. Or giving money to the banks, finance companies, auto industry instead of the regular Joe Schmo who is just trying to make it. Today was my damn near final straw after living in housing run by slum lords, having cars stolen from me by finance companies, and buying glued together cars from private buyers, finally it's kids furniture still in awe at the shady business practices so many have adopted because everyone feels that stealing from other hard working Americans is the way to go. At least they have jobs and someone has to make the burgers and mow the lawns of Americans. When will everyone pull their heads of their asses and realize that we are worse than some third world country fighting in their streets, armed and killing each other. At least there it is out in the open and they own it. When did we all start screwing each other over and fighting some unspoken war against each other. My favorite "stand for something or fall for everything' is so where we are and just blind to it. Americans at least used to try to work together for a greater good or "American dream". What the hell happened? I hardly have an opinion on it though. And my shame would lie in not knowing how to fix it or where to start. I was not born to run a government nor am I good at leading a cause, but i am good at yelling, kicking, screaming, and begging for someone who does know how to step up and make this a life worth living in a Country we can be proud of again. Now I am hungry for the egg mcmuffin i stashed in the fridge cause i was too lazy and it was too hot to cook 

 Had to go back and add the whole post in the spirit of not losing anything, as I am on a roll now, considering all that was posted.  Went back to my friends wall and let loose, even shocking myself, guess I was holding a lot in for a while.  Post number two this fine morning at 1 a.m.  My last Tuesday off, had to switch to being off on Sundays, probably still won't spend it sitting in church.

Bigger picture, since everyone is insisting on looking at the little one. What about the guy at the car dealership who doesn't fill out your financing paperwork correctly and you end up without your old car, unable to finance a new one and your new one is taken? I rather give the guy who made my breakfast and added ketchup to it a raise then the moron who cost me my job because i can't drive there. Or the Government job you are working for cost of living raises and paid education decides that the budget was done wrong and you receive no raise or no funding to pay for your classes. Or the eye doctor that fails to correctly test your eyes and the wrong prescription is given but insurance has paid for it already so they won't admit they made a mistake because it will cost their company money so you go without for a year. Or the surgeon that received the wrong record and performed brain surgery instead of gall bladder surgery and left a healthy husband brain dead? We need to look at the bigger picture and find a way to get back to being people who earn an honest wage for a days work, whatever it is. Fair wages, so if someone does get up and go to work they can afford a "piece of the pie". I could go on forever but I don't have a "plan" either. We have somehow gotten ourselves into this position and I don't know if we can save it. Your next post might send me in another wild rant, but recently realized that somehow the IRS (which i never rec'd a response to how it was created, by who, and who is the checks and balances for them) will tell you a tax return over 3 years old where you are due a refund is "too late to be filed" and in the same breath tell you if you owe them they will collect from you no matter how old it is and can audit you at their leisure as well. HOW DID WE GET SO GOOD AT SETTING OURSELVES UP to fail? The government should be by the people for the people. Court Systems are supposed to fair and just and work in favor of the honest and innocent until proven guilty (almost wrote it backwards) and when did we start pointing fingers and placing blame on each other instead of paying attention to where we were headed? Wages are a small part of the whole big picture. Hell I make $10/hour at my job. The guy who fixes my car gets $75-$100/hour. Just paying insurance (without considering co-pays and deductibles) takes half of my check right off the top. That doesn't leave money for McDonalds or water, or rent or even that mechanic.......something is off. Must be why the guy who sold me furniture was willing to lie about the quality, where it came from and set me up with a finance company that was going to get 3X what I was told for furniture that isn't worth the original price, cause somewhere he has to be able to afford everything I described above for his family or just him. Why can't we all just get a fair wage for a job and pay a fair price to stay alive?? Now we all need to hope someone is willing to make less than minimum wage to sling drinks from behind a bar so I can forget all this misery I can't control truly and have a few drinks. I knew years ago when I found out that strippers had to pay to go to work that the world was headed to hell in a handbasket. LITERALLY they have to pay the DJ for their service, and pay out the bar for "letting them" perform. Only in Merica.
