Every progressive on this forum is either doing better or knows of most others doing better!
All the stats proving this country is in a major struggle somehow eludes the ones on RIU. LOL
statistics are amazingly slanted. Fox News can have a graph showing economy in huge down turn, MSNBC can have a graph showing economy climbing up steadily. Who to believe?

Really, so what do you do?
I'm a registered MMJ caregiver.

I spent most of my adult life tattooing. About 3 years ago I got sick, real fucking sick; I got meningitis. Spent a bunch of time in the hospital and have had some lingering problems from that and a cyst on my brain. After the time in the hospital I had tremors in my hands, and they never went away.

As a tattooist it's kinda tough with shaking hands and a bad back.. so I had to find something I could physically do or go on disability for the brain issues and a really bad back. I chose to remain self sufficient for as long as I physically could. I sold the tattoo business and moved on.

You?

I'm a building contractor in California, used to build a shit load of custom homes and did major insurance loss work, now we rely on the insurance work as the brunt of our business and manage our income property.

I also have some sob stories but don't see the point in sharing them!

My time on here has nothing to do with my job progress, I could spend another 2 hours a day and it wouldn't make a bit of difference. Besides, what would your broke progressive ass know?

Yep I'm broke, just closed on my 4th house last month. Just wondering though, what do you get paid per post?

You ignorant fuck, you asked a question and I gave you the answer. It isn't a sob story you idiot, it's called life. Shit happens, you deal with it and move on. When you grow up a little, you might understand; though I doubt it.

I guess that's what a get for trying to have an honest and adult conversation with a lying, self loathing mixed race racist piece of shit like you.

We all have life problems at some point in our live my friend, some like to let others know about it, some of us just suck it up. I guess because I'm of mixed race, I'm twice as racist.
Thanks for the laughs!

That's their standard response to everyone who does not agree with them.

You are a racist is all they know.

Since retiring 11 years ago, my income is fixed and will remain that way.

I've been lots better off under Obama's cabinet than I was under Dub-Ya's.

After Obamney Care has a chance to kick in, I'll be doing lots better.

The last Republican President resided over the worst TERRORIST ATTACK in American History, lest people forget.............

im better off than i was 4 years ago. it has nothing to do with our president though. for one, four years ago my state didnt have medical laws. maybe they were just new in MI than but i think they only been here 3 years. dont feel like looking it up.

also have a very nice paying job right now working for my parents at an insurance company. nothing to do with the government. my parents hired me for getting an associates degree. they said if i get my masters i get a raise.

fuck republicans and fuck democrats even more. except mit romney is an even bigger bitch than obama.

4 years ago i had a shit girlfriend and made shit money cause my parents make me work for everything for the most part. 4 years later i have a cool gf and have like 10x the money i used to. also have 2 decent cars, 2 houses, indoor pool, land for hunting. im not even close rich or anything like that. just a bit of extra money. even played the land lord game for a while but failed lol.

i'd say yeah, now is better. hope everyone else that deserves it achieves their goals and lives a happy life. if not keep trying, dont give up. u will get what u deserve! sometimes it just takes a while.
