Most of Congress are millionaires. There are more millionaire Democrats than Republicans. Nearly 70% of Congress lists their current or former profession as "attorney." A few non-millionaires are elected. I haven't seen any from either side leave public office on the low side of millionaire.
Concerning cabinet members, would you rather have minimum wage burger flippers running the country? There is nothing wrong with making money. Becoming a millionaire on the backs of the taxpayers is a little different.

NO, we are not blaming you.
We know who is guilty of the move toward socialism.
Control health care.
Control the right to bear arms.
Teach our children not to strive., everyone gets a trophy.
Great big deal about what bathroom to use.
No need to go on, most everyone get the picture.
You seem to be saying that Education, Medicine, Drug production, Entertainment, Environment and the Media have been wrecked by Progressives. I don't agree. I live in a modest sized city where the schools are great, the medical care is all I could ask for, the drug makers are all advertising for my business, there are hundreds of channels on my cable, thousands of movies are available instantly, there are well maintained nature trails very close by and the mountains and the seashore a short drive away and there are several national and local news stations which do a great job, and my income is only a touch more than the median adjusted for family size as is done. I don't doubt your sincerity, but I wonder if your view is limited. Some years ago when I had kids in school I was at a luncheon where a parent said that there were no drugs at the Y school where his kids attended, but that at the X school drugs were rampant. Now my kids were going to the X school and it had no drug problem, but some people at the X school thought there was a serious problem at the Y school. I am not saying the country doesn't have problems, but on the whole I don't subscribe to the doom and gloom position. Of course getting shot at a concert sucks, but look at it a little differently 21,000 people were able attend a concert of their choice. If the biographies of the people who were k**led are any indication, they were a wonderful group of people. My advice for you is every day listen to "Be Happy", "Everything will be all right" and "If Jesus says yes who can say no".

No longer enter politics to serve your country.
Enter to enrich yourself, and most are attorneys.
Who knows better on how to screw you out of your money?

I will not address this to any one particular set of people, you know who you are.
I am truly fed up with being labeled and insulted by the various News services, Op-Ed writers and of course politicians in general. It is obvious that many of you have no idea what life is like outside of your own little circle.
Of course you go out and interview, take polls and the like but really, you have no idea. I’ve watched as you (speaking of labels) yes, you people have systematically torn my country apart.
Education, Medicine, the very social fabric that holds us all together has been destroyed by you. Everything that has made this country great is under attack by you and your ilk.
Of course you are far more educated than we unwashed masses could ever hope to be. We could never understand the deep learning and knowledge that your kind has attained.
This is obvious because we can see the unbridled string of successes you have had in social engineering, diplomacy and all the other hot button issues. I need look no further than the payroll taxes taken from my weekly paycheck to become angry all over again.
So here are a few issues that perhaps you could explain your reasoning to me.
A gun is a tool period. I don’t have the free time or the inclination to hunt. If someone is so inclined, great!
If I am doing carpenter work on my farm I will likely use a hammer and a saw. Both are potentially lethal weapons and a danger to the user as well as any bystanders if used incorrectly.
If the Coyote is stealing my chickens or worse threatening my grandchildren I will use a gun to eliminate the threat. I’d rather hope the fence will keep him away, but sometimes they slip through. I h**e to harm anything if there is no need.
Domestic arguments and other disagreements will come and are usually best solved by walking away, cooling off and most of all by love and respect.
Of course we all disagree at times, but to harm or k**l another person is beyond my understanding. Thanks to the moral breakdown that, really, you have helped to create, well bullets are flying!
You say we cling to our religion and guns? Until you can prove me wrong, I will trust in a divine creator, and a 12 gauge to guard my animals and my family. At times there may be no one else to call. This should not be an issue with you, since you tell me we are nothing more than a mass of cells evolved from a ____? Well wh**ever it was. Be sure to let me know when you come up with the answer to that question please, maybe I’m wrong on this one.
Meanwhile I will believe in my “fairytale” God.
You say we are unlearned, stupid? But then I see you seem to be a little short on answers yourself! It is said that the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result.
Was it Goebbles that said if you repeat a lie loud enough and long enough, it becomes the t***h?
Does it ever occur to you there is another life outside of your little world? Not everyone is really interested in all your ideas and theories.
Can you even understand the cycles of tides and moons, how do all the animals live? How do the plants grow? Where does your food come from? If the store and restaurant is closed – what will you eat?
Can you fix things and solve problems? Again, I’m looking at your track record here. I see a big no here.
Cause and effect
Oh Yea and instead of trying to control animal our instincts you would tell me anything goes? You tell me things that are un-natural are perfectly normal? The lengths you will go to convince me of these things would be comical – if they weren’t so deadly serious to folks. Instead of setting boundaries you say follow our feelings. After all of that you come up with some really cockamamie excuses as to why these actions have undesirable consequences. Your teaching has destroyed our families and yes, in our ignorance or because maybe we got lazy, we have allowed you to train our children according to your wishes. Nice job!
You would have us all live in a plastic world. A plastic ,make believe world that you have created and of course you must rule over. A world where everyone is a winner and no one gets hurt. Well, except for a few undesirables. We can’t make an omelet without cracking a few eggs now can we?
Your entertainment and pharmaceutical industries will keep us numb so we don’t ask too many questions. No need for us to think for ourselves, no need to take responsibility for our lives. Your desire is to make us weak servants to you, the rulers.
Why have you given away our technology and our industries?
Why would you expect me to accept another privileged ruling class in this country after my ancestors fought to o*******w a King?
Why have you made my money worthless? And make me a s***e to your system at the same time?
I think I know the answer to these questions , but it would be nice to hear what you have to say.
Yes it is true, this country has done some terrible things – but why can’t you mention all the good things we have done as well? Why must you continue to fan the flames of hatred?
That’s all I have for right now,
Shalom!

So what do your sweetheart and two daughters have to do with the subject matter at hand?Get real and quit smoking your dope and sucking on those lollipops.
I will say this; This country, The United States, has never done one thing wrong. NEVER! Some people, at different times, have done things they deemed as right and that we consider in this day and age to be wrong. Now, since every one of those "wrongs" has been "righted", then we are progressing rather smartly. Don't ya think?

If the daughters are well adjusted, who reared them?

I believe it is the so called, progressives/c*******ts that have caused us to v**e for Trump. The progressive/c*******t way of life is not for the ordinary working man. Progressives want to control everything, in the lives of the common people. Most of your kind want to control all that we do and think. Thank God that will never happen. You allow degenerates to enter what ever bathroom they pick for the day. Allow those that want to tear our country apart with false allegations about those that oppose you and your ways. You and your kind have created the chaos in this country for the benefit of the elite and don't realize what you have done. In part by our blindness to the fact, the person you wanted to be elected President is nothing a schemer and liar to the people of this great country. You and people like her are trying to destroy a country, that has stood for more than two centuries with a Constitution for the people and by the people. It has almost become a dictatorial state with the help of the g*******ts and Marxists that have infected this country and now Muslim extremists. Many have said this country would be destroyed from within. The previous administration had implemented this process on their way out. We can only hope this process can be stopped before this country is destroyed for the benefit of the few. Until you realize that fact, you are a major contributor to our destruction, yours and mine.

Kudos to you for that statement. Leave things of the past in the past, except, for us to learn from these missteps in history and not repeat the same mistakes.
