[QUOTE="vantexan, post: 5262628, member: 24302"] Can you show me where a country that had become self sufficient in energy decided to restrict access to areas for new drilling to the point that they had to start importing oil again? That paid its people to stay home and not work? That let millions come across their border illegally and moved them around the country in the middle of the night? That's just some of the things the Biden administration has done. What will matter is what voters think come November. I've seen many immigrants come here legally and do well for themselves. My grandfather built a successful well drilling business from nothing starting in the late 40's. The thing is no one that I'm aware of is selling the idea that anyone can be rich if they just work hard enough. If that was the case every UPS driver would be loaded. What's being sold is that hard work pays off. That includes getting an education and getting into something that pays well. In the case of FedEx that means moving into management and taking on responsibility. I know FedEx didn't do right by us but I never expected to get rich being a courier. I would've been content if they had just treated us fairly. Would've been enough for me. For someone raising kids it might not be but then early on they should have gotten the education or training necessary to raise kids decently. It's about personal responsibility. There are avenues to get out of bad situations and into a better life but there's no guarantee one will end up a millionaire. A lot of people want shortcuts. Putting everything on everyone else to fulfill their dreams. It's not nor has it ever been realistic to expect the government or a union to take care of you cradle to grave. Some will do very well, some won't, but most will do well enough to varying degrees. If I have a roof over my head, food to eat, clothes to wear, lights that turn on, a way to move around, I'm good. The rest is gravy. [/QUOTE]
