  • The biggest issue is that America is built on the concept that taxes are bad. The whole founding of the country is built on not paying taxes. It’s something kids are taught from a very very young age and even though they are not being directly told that taxes are bad, they are being told how great and important it was to break away from English because they made us pay taxes.

    Additionally the taxes that are paid in the USand used terribly. Pretty much no one is happy with how they are allocated. Right wing or left wing. So more taxes just feels like having more blood drained from us while getting nothing good in return.

    We need a major tax reform not just an increase or a decrease. I would be happy to pay much higher taxes if I felt the benefits of it. Both for myself and for the people in this country. Instead I know most of what I pay gets wated or lines the pockets of the wealthy.


  • Therapy never fixes you problems. It’s there to provide you with the tools to handle and navigate those problems and teach you how to use them.

    You can’t control the world or society or how other people will feel or react. All you can do is controle your actions and reactions. That’s a simple fact of life for everyone. I’m not saying your situation isn’t different from most other peoples but that won’t angry that the world isn’t better won’t help you in any way. Figuring out ways to navigate that shitty world on the other hand will.


  • There is nothing special about him. Assholes like him are a dime a dozen.

    The real issue is generations of brainwashing and propaganda. On a micro scale we are individuals with free will and personal responsibility. But on a macro scale, when we are looking at the population as a whole, it’s so compleatly beyond people just being bad. They are like this because they have been conditioned to be like this. Taught to be like this. Turned into this.

    I’m not saying that people are not responsible for their choices and actions. I am saying that the problem is so widespread that the we need to address the cause and not get stuck at just being mad at and blaming the individual.

    American society now is the result of a fuck ton of social engineering by the wealthy elite trying to extract as much work and money out of the world as possible. We are living in the capitalist dream right now.



  • I want everyone to get what they want. I want people who voted for evil shit to get evil shit done to them. I want people who voted for good shit to have good shit done to them.

    I don’t get to decide what’s good and what evil. All I get is to see how it all plays out. If these people keep voting for the right and now their life sucks because of the politicians they voted for then they are just getting what they asked for. The only sad part is everyone else who didn’t vote that way is also dealing with it.
