Also it won't be racist and sexist so there is the benefit of practicing what you preach.
Totally agree

So ends my political posts on this stuff because we will all just argue all day

They find themselves in? As you know, many people put themselves in a certain socioeconomic condition. Sometimes it's spread intergenerationally as cultural values - I can safely include the majority of America in this characterization. Never forget that the only true freedom that you have is thought. Someone can put a gun to your head but that was still not change what you think, it may only change how you act. Therefore, people are always responsible to a large degree for their situation. There is unlimited number of options that person could've taken but didn't for a number of reasons. Life is not fair but that doesn't stop someone from changing the conditions of the test. This self victimization way of thinking is a Leftist mechanism by which they create a problem which only the left political brand can solve through social justice, which is the trap for more government and perpetual indentured servitude to the left. That is one of the reasons the left hates Trump so much. Trumps economic policies are freeing these people from government dependence by giving them an economic opportunity of autonomy, rather than remaining subjects of the Democrats.

No kidding! I know when I chose my family, I picked a stable, hardworking family that I knew would instill good ole fashion American values. If you’re born into a poor, disadvantaged family, just stop the self-victimization already. Maybe you should’ve been born in a more affluent area, duh! I don’t wanna hear about crime and income statistics either; 98% of statistics are made up on the spot. Snowflake millenials have been destroying the middle class for generations now. This country has always treated all races exactly the same. Don’t trust the liberal fake news media.

Sure, sorry, I was being sarcastic.

Does anyone know if we still do Vets in Blue seminars and if so, when the next one is?

Great post.

It's true that we all have a *chance* to be very successful financially and win the 100 mile race of life, but some won't acknowledge that the odds are much better for those that start life at mile 99, or even mile 50.
