Anonymous Coward User ID: 30075865 United States 02/01/2013 09:38 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | yep, yep, yep...ditto it all, except the part where I'm still toiling away in the shitty system. I was asleep, but my sub-conscious must have been telling me to get out of this racket a long time ago. I swore off credit cards 15 years ago. I bought a house 12 years ago and never tapped into the equity that built up so fast. I sold it 5 years ago and was able to reap some profit from that. From there, I swore off ANY debt. I read about a coming bond bubble a few years ago and cashed out my 401K. Yeah I had to pay a tax penalty, but I figured some money was better than none. Those bastards in DC will find a way to get their hooks into the middle class 401K money, or when the shtf, everything will implode and be worthless. So I ditched. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 31907650 Then the big day...25 years slaving away for corporate America, earning 6 figures, etc., etc. But realizing I was just going through the motions of life. Exhausted. 70 hour work weeks. No time for the family. Working for a complete pos prick that made every day a horror. One day a few months ago, I told him to fuck off. I told him to get me an exit check to make it worth my while to leave nicely or I was going to launch Armageddon on his ass and sue the fuck out of all of them. They gave me a check. And you betcha! I'm on the dole of unemployment. That money is just piling up because I haven't gone through the exit money from the company yet. Yeah. I faced the choice of living the rest of my life in that horrible way, or taking door #2...the unknown. I have been sitting on my ass for four months now doing NOTHING. Nothing but plotting how to get super self-sufficient because when shtf, I ain't gonna be standing in no govt cheese line begging for crumbs. I am talking to a consultant company about doing a one year gig for them on a project to make some cash so I can gtfo of where I am and to a better place. Yeah, everyday, I sit on my ass and send a big middle finger to those people. Not playing the game, not giving them my labor and 60%+ of what I earn. My point is, once you wake up, you can't stay in the game. It eats your soul, makes life a pure misery. That means they win. And I know, it's hard to figure out how to live in a non-now structure, but when you take the first step, you are then forced to take the next. You are led there somehow. I'll tell you what pushed me over the edge to ditch the job. Ocommie running his big fucking mouth about the evil rich people. I'm killing myself working 70 hours/wk, they're stealing the majority of my money to feed and house lazy/irresponsible types, and I'M the problem??? Fuck that! I was producing millions in tangible incremental profit for my company. Profits that enabled them to expand, hire people, etc. I withdrew my talent and Uncle Sam no longer receives my huge tax revenue. Fuck all of them. The corporations, the thieves in DC. I have ideas about what I'm going to do next and it will contribute to the plight of others who hate the game, but don't know how to get out. Life is good again! I'm excited about each day! Find your path out of this bs! You can do it! |

Should I really just let that all slide? I think this stuff DOES affect me personally. And I think it affects you. Unfortunately I don't have a solution, but I'd love to hear some suggestions. I'm sure you don't want to hear suggestions from me, because I'm in a different position than you. I am young, 22. Who am I to give you suggestions...When I was born in this world, I was alone and I've been alone all those 22 years, yes, I have a family, but I am alone. They rised a child which they wanted to be improtant to be envied. But at 18 years when I got out of my family nest I didn't wanted to be envied, I didn't want to be important...I wanted to live life. But I can't, you don't throw away 18 years of brainwashing. You can't erase them. You just sit on the side of the road and enjoy (if you can, if not, endure) the show. So my advice, an advice from a stupid young boy is to teach your kids to love life. Don't shoot for the stars. If you want a good future for your kids, teach them how to live, how to love life. I've never had that... |

May as well call it what it is because it is slavery. Bingo! The working middle class is what made the U.S. strong in years past-economy wise AND ethics/morality wise.

Quoting: GodFrequency It's destroying what jobs I use to have coming in. It's destroyed my industry. It's bailing out the rich through QE welfare candy for wall street, and foodstamp cellphone candy for the poor. Meanwhile the gap is growing, and we are all getting weaker. Yet, everyone I talk to says don't do anything, I've listened for the last three years as one dooms day prediction after another has come and gone. Every time I think the elite are about to be dethroned Icelandic style, they break a law that is totally ignored, never prosecuted, and allows them to keep the charade going for another couple months. Bailouts, money creation, theft like MF Global, laundering money like HSBC, and yet no one goes to jail. I've come to understand that TOO BIG TO FAIL means one thing, it means the destruction of the middle class, and the strip mining of our nation. So many people have lost everything, many others are struggling, and yet even more are cheating, or turning to criminal activity just to survive, including the states that have legalized everything lately except for prostitution. I have no more dreams, and I was a dreamer. There is no future, they've taken that away. Today, I was trying to set out a 5 year plan, with new goals. There are so many uncertainties, I don't even know what is feasible and for how long anymore. First time I ever had this problem. I am a goal setter and I get there. But I feel demoralized by what you are describing. My experience exactly! Anyone know how I can locate other true Americans who still believe in the founding ideas of this nation. We need to find one another so we can support each other. I want to spend my limited dollars making sure your businesses stay up and running.

It is called the heart consciousness,which is the creator, which is you! The heart create the emotions and our mind evoke its purpose, from which we dream the life we live in order to imagine the nature of reality and finally remember love!

They monetized the bad paper and when that stopped working they have bought their own debt to the tune of 85 billion a month. We thought the fed would come to it's senses but they are doing what all countries and empires do when they fear the repurcussions of their actions, they lie obfuscate and debase their currency. And do it to the point that even other countries aren't sure of the US's credit (Germany wanting it's gold back). It's happening but slowly and at the fringes of the press.

The lie can be maintained only for such time as the State can shield the people from the political, economic and/or military consequences of the lie. It thus becomes vitally important for the State to use all of its powers to repress dissent, for the truth is the mortal enemy of the lie, and thus by extension, the truth is the greatest enemy of the State.” Quote from Joseph Goebbels Hitlers propaganda man. |

They asked 'why don't I do something about it?' Referring to my business's difficulties. I am doing something about it, I'm learning a couple of new trades and back to work swinging a hammer. Furthermore, I am leasing out my farm land and moving back to the sticks on a much smaller acreage. Frankly, cattle ranching is dead. Not dying, not in a rough patch, it's dead. Between the 'commuter' ranchers, who frankly neglect and abuse their herd, and the costs of operating, you eek out a meager living.
