Do you believe that you are personally "getting the short end of the stick" from the government? How so?

Answer 1

If Hillary gets in it will be WAY WORSE!!

Answer 2

Every Milldle/lower class American citizen is getting the short end of the stick form our Government.

Most people work 2 jobs jsut to try to make ends meet while ILLEGAL immigrants get everything ahnded to them and don't pay a dime in taxes!!! If someone want to sit on their a$$ and breed kids and not work the government will hand them what ever they want, but get two young working people together and throw in a kid or two and then they make $10 to much a month to qualify for medical or daycare, and they are working and paying taxes!! But don't work and you'll get your rent paid, you food stamps, help with medical and heat as well.

Answer 3

Entitlement programs such as medicare are the biggest slice of pie in the taxes we pay. Since I don't get medicare or anything like it and don't expect to, yes I get the short end.

Answer 4

Middle class by the skin of my teeth...I am white, therefore the wrong color now days to matter much anymore to those in power. Racism sure took a wild swing to the opposite now didn't it? I thought MLK's whole purpose was EQUALITY for his children and the children of all colors. I think he would be dissapointed in how little we on a human scale have changed, it's stayed the same or reversed since his brave attempt to make the world a better place. How sad. Don't get me wrong, I think minorities for a long course of human history have gotten the short end of the stick, and still do to an extent, and that sucks. But at the risk of sounding inflamitory, I don't see where it is my personal problem or why I or my children should have to suffer for it because we happen to have been born white, or that we should be ashamed that we are caucasion. I have never owned or sold a slave, pointed water hoses or sent an attack dog on brave civil rights activists, hung a noose in a tree or burned a cross, nor do I have sheets hanging on my closet corner anywhere. I wasn't even a "twinkle in my dad's eye" when these atrocities of human nature took place. So I don't feel that I owe anyone anything for things that didn't even happen to them directly, but to a long gone ancestor who was sold to the white man as a slave by his/her own people, or a grandparent or parent maybe who was an active member of the civil rights movement for which I have the greatest respect-these folks have EARNED my respect. I see no one now who has done anything to EARN my respect much less make me believe I OWE them a darn thing or that I should be ashamed to be proud of who I am based on my color.I have no respect for people who shoot dead in the street thier "own kind" over drugs, turf, what color of hanky they have in thier back pocket or for a pair of shoes they want, nor does how loud thier car stereos can blare down my street in the middle of the night or how low they can wear thier pants without tripping on them around thier ankles. Making my kids come home from school crying and scared from thier bullying and threats of "bad things happening to them and thier mom" just because they are white. My kids now have a negative view of African Americans, after I spent years raising them to not judge based on color but on attitude, the very people I was teaching them to respect have made them just a bit racist, and have people thinking that I do have sheets hanging in my closet. Just like I am not responsible for slavery generations before my birth, I can honestly say that I am not responsible for my kid's new attitude. But we are the ones who get the "short end of the stick" now. After being diagnosed with a brain tumor and left unable to work and a husband with major back surgery who also cant work, we needed help. We got next to nothing. We struggle every day to keep above water, getting a pittance of food stamps and little else, yet when we stand in line behind the lady with the salon nails and salon hair weave that looks none to cheap, she pulls out her food stamp card and takes her purchases out to her brand new Escalade complete with spinners next to my 25 year old car. I guess I was just born the wrong color. But regardless, I refuse to fall into the lame and overused "oh, feel sorry for me because I am: black, mexican, asian, white etc etc etc. and give me everything I want because I am and I deserve it." I have busted my butt for everything I have, what little it may be, and will continue to do so. I dont owe anyone a dang thing and no one owes me a dang thing that I won't endeavor to EARN, regardless of my race. Am I racist? Do I think I am in any way superior to anyone? NO. I am proud of myself and my own accomplishments, and I happen to be white. Racist? No, I am an ATTITUDIST: If you have a bad attitude for any reason, I don't like you or respect you, I dont care what color you are.
