It would be easy to take the "righteous" way. Cry for the poor, the hungry, the homeless, the broken and battered. Demand a share of the pie for everyone, no one person to get a larger portion. All for sake of being perceived as a good and caring person, a compassionate soul, a forgiving sort that provides second chance.

In reality, all the righteous have a flaw. They want these things, but on someone else's dime. It is easy to demand rights and concessions when you don't have to pay for it. Who pays, not them. They are usually found on the receiving end of the dole, not the delivery end. Those of affluence and influence that cry righteous from their Humpty perch are only deflecting their own hypocrisy and frequently come crashing down.

The rest of us get up every morning, go to work the grind, find a way to make ends meet. Then we come home and watch on the news how we are the middle class deplorable. Suck my large cock mother fuckers!

 

There are two kinds of people in the world, owners and renters ... or put another way, those that bite their fingers while eating a sandwich, and those of us that don't lol.

Some people are just hardwired to bust their hump all their working lives in a job they hate but it pays the bills and allows them to save a few bucks for extras periodically. They get as far from their jobs as they can on time off with friends/family to piss away their work week. They pay a mortgage, car loan , credit card debt, etc, and are the ones that can usually least afford it when they walk past a Salvation Army Kettle or any other charity, but rarely pass by without dropping some change or a few bucks toward that cause because it's good karma and they can identify ... without a middle class we are all fucked !!!

I have never wanted for anything since I was in my 20's and remember scratching and clawing to eat when I was in university living on KD and Raman and will NEVER forget it and how it sucked however temporary. I made myself a promise a long time ago that I would never forget where I came from and how respect and decency was instilled in me at a young age. The day I made my first real paycheck, 10% went to charity instantly and to this day 10% of everything that I make goes there still, I just pick and choose more carefully now to make sure it actually gets to the right charity that uses it wisely and not to pay management fatcats. My company raised (through fund raisers/charity events) and donated 1.8 million dollars last year that went to charity so I do my part even though I don't have to ... I need to !!!

I'm that guy that can't walk past a homeless person without offering them a few bucks or a meal and to this day the single mom down the hall still wonders who keeps putting a hundred dollar bill in her mail box every Friday because every penny she makes goes to raise her child and give her a better life than she had ...

Affluent people are so fucking tight they squeak but that doesn't stop me from making them open their wallets for worthy causes even if it is like pulling teeth lol. I gave a 100,000 dollar car to the humane society last year during the Ft Mac fires to do my part as I already have enough vehicles in my garage and they needed money badly.

Hell I sold one division of my investment company last year (and bought it back for half what they paid after they ran it into the ground) and the remaining divisions I GAVE to my employees for a job well done.

I am FAR from a saint but I don't allow money to rule me and giving allows me to sleep better at night knowing some of the scary shit I have done to make it lol. I will take from the rich and give to the poor until my last breath ...

 

Robin Hood, is that you?

 

define righteous.....

however those who just want to vote for a living need to move to Venezuela....

 

Careful jpt, you're already cracked, would hate to see you fall off your perch.

 

Corporations and the rich get far more in subsidies than the poor. I'm sure you'll put me in the category of "one who is on the take", but you'd be wrong. So, exactly what are you bitching about?

 

I earned that "perch" but don't look down on people from it but instead just have a clearer view of things lol.


You may be correct about the cracked comment but the things that I am passionate about are still clear in my head, it's all the "noise" that is gone lol. I never fucked over "the little guy" in all my years as a derivatives/day trader and was sued one time for using a company's accounts to trade accounts for small investors that got royally fucked over by that company's traders. I made every penny back for their accounts and when they showed me the door, over 3/4 of those same clients went with me when I opened my own investment company and I made them all a generous profit trading their accounts for them.

I just like giving material things away to others that might appreciate like I used to before a realized they don't solve your problems and other than a pretty sweet nestegg and a hefty life insurance policy and house for my sweety, my goal is to give it all away before before lucifer calls in his marker lol.

As for Trump or most other politicians, I couldn't care less if they dig the country into a hole too deep to get out of, I am set and don't need them looking out for me. I just enjoy getting under peoples skin with outlandish comments aimed Trumps way. I actually like his take no prisoners attitude but he is as crazy as I am LOL. I have an excuse, I'm brain damaged from misfortune unlike him unless you classify being dropped on your head as an infant misfortune ...

I would walk over an injured lawyer, politician or banker to get to an injured animal though and have NEVER needed a handout from anyone but have come to realize that some people do need that and aren't capable of taking care of themselves. Here is a property I bought a couple years ago 3 blocks from my condo up here, we leveled the existing house and built 2 infills on it that are earmarked for 2 deserving families on a rent to own basis which I will carry the mortgage for them personally so they don't have to go to a bank and get fucked up the ass. 2 more are planned for the empty property next to them and the same intentions will stand with them too. I subdivided a lake front property that is now serviced and parceled for a "tiny house" community and it is 60 % sold including almost a dozen Americans that made good on their pledge to move here if Trump won. That property is valued at 50 times what I paid for it years ago but never bothered developing for myself but will generate a handsome income for the foreseeable future so it is a win for everyone.

You may think that picture is old, it is from 2 days ago lol. We have even had snow storms in June ...



I am not filthy rich but I have an attractive looking portfolio and am considered a 1% er but that has never stopped me from having that "thin wallet" you mentioned, mine is like that from giving back to those that truly need and deserve a break though ... my money will outlive me but it is fun trying to spend it lol.
