^ Tom, you don't pay taxes.  You get all of your tax money refunded at the end of the year, just like I do... so we don't get an extra 500 dollars of it back... we get it ALL back.  Come on man, research this stuff a little bit, it's not as simple as you think it is.

whatever, whatever. It's just weird hearing about these tax refunds, and then not getting anything back. I make shit, and I didn't get all of my refund back. I don't even crack the $10,000 per year mark, and I did my taxes, and I don't get it all back. Wish I did though, I got bills to pay.

"Work More"

What the fuck is that about? I know people who work 2 jobs, 12 hours a day 6 days a week who get paid far far less than someone who has better luck and works a 35hour week. They struggle to make ends meet working their arse off and then you come along and say "work harder", thats bullshit. If you work all day on a building site and at night in a department store then surely you should be able to earn as much or at least close to, someone who spends a few hours in meetings and on paid lunches. Where do ya think the name "working class" came from??? You are making the mistake that poor people dont work, where in fact they work far harder for far less, they just dont have the opportunities or skills to make it in big business. And they pay taxes too.

Yeah, and you us me to feel the example of millions. When in actuallity, I work my ass off, I am a supervisor for a food service place, I go to school, I am a education major so I have to go to classrooms FOR FREE and help out students, tuitor, be a teachers aid, whatever. I travel to different schools on my own money, I don't get no money, not even for the gas I use or nothing. Next year I student teach for free. Which mean I am actually a teacher, but with no more coming to me at all. Every teacher must do this for a semester. Dogg, you don't know how hard I work. I do this because I want to end up with a $37,000 a year job that people like you could look down on me and say, his just a teacher, his failing our youth, and put stupit shit like No Child Left Behind so that our job is even harder with limit resources to work with. Dogg, I work my ass off, I study my ass off, and I help out in classrooms for free, all because I want dump ass conservates like you to tell me how I'm failing to country. Come on dogg. Know me before you judge me. I don't judge you, I really don't care what you do, if your unemployed or what. All I care about is ways to improve the working class of the United States, because I grew up working class and I would like hard working people do more than just live pay check to pay check.

Boo Hoo...

I'm sorry, but you don't know the first thing about working your ass off. I've lived on my own for damn near 7 years. Started doing shitty retail. I didn't like making shit and getting treated like shit. I did something about it and found different work. Now I work 40 hours a week and go to school full time. You don't see me whining and complaing about how I have a hard time paying my bills. You know why? Thats life. You've got responsibilities. Deal with them. Don't expect people to give you a hand out because you feel like you "need" something. If you don't like making less than $10,000 a year, do something about it. Work harder, Work longer, start your own business. Deal with your problems like a man, not a child who needs somebody to take care of them.

I am dealling with my problems like a man. I ain't on no welfare, I'm not getting money from my dad. I've beenin Minnesota 4 and a half year, my family, all of them, is in California. I know about working hard, home repair, landscape, anything for extra money. I learned how to work hard in a working class family, and I put that to make extra money on the side. But that don't erase bills. I got college loans, and all these people are like, you get all you tax dollars back, no I don't. I personally don't care. But if a well to do man is going to get money back, why shouldn't I. You support a man you know nothing about. He gives his big business friends breaks, and the working class supports it. Fuck that, I don't want my tax dollars supporting the rich.

I am puttin MYSELF through school and when i get out i will be making at least 100k a year.I am 18....... 18 year olds should be 18 years olds. Fuck stressing about shit until your life really starts after college.
Don't get ya self over ya head when u are young with bills, rent etc. and you will be all set. Rich people piss me off when they act like a dude straight outta high school should be makin' 50k a year.. I am a person who solely believes in having fun when u are young..
