If you must know, I never in my life have worked for a union. Personally, i think the unions are ALMOST as big a part of the problem as the rich. I also have never been fired from a job. I also have never been unemployed since the day I turned 18. I'm 31 and quit my last job (Commercial Pesticide Applicator) a year ago to buy my FIL's 360 acre farm. I work on the farm full time and have a wife who works off the farm for insurance and for enough money to keep the kids in clothes. I have a 5 year old daughter and a 2 year old son. I hope to leave a better world to them than your generation left for me.
If I am not to worry about how big business operates, whether or not you and I get medicare (or SS, or schooling for my children, or basic fire and police protection, or well maintained highways), or whether or not my children are gonna get a decent shot at making a living for themselves, what should I worry about? Seems to me these are not the worries of a "drama queen".
Do you tell your kids that if they don't like it, leave? What do you tell the Mexicans that don't like their country of Mexico when they leave to come here? Personally, I'd rather they stay in Mexico and change it to their liking as I prefer to stay here and change here to my liking. Big business and the rich prefer that they come here, work for starvation wages, and go home when they get sick or old.
You may not care to admit it, but we have more in common than we have not.
Good day sir.

Today's Featured Article - When Push Comes to Shove - by Dave Patterson. When I was a “kid” (still am to a deree) about two I guess, my parents couldn’t find me one day. They were horrified (we lived by the railroad), my mother thought the worst: "He’s been run over by a train, he’s gone forever!" Where did they find me? Perched up on the seat of the tractor. I’d probably plowed about 3000 acres (in my head anyway) by the time they found me. This is where my love for tractors started and has only gotten worse in my tender 50 yrs on this “green planet”. I’m par
