The common everyday American lives paycheck to paycheck. They have more credit card debt than they can pay off in 2 years. They have less than $500 in the bank. A large car repair bill would likely cause them to miss a house payment. Yep... these are the trump supporters. Everyday americans. I'm telling you, this country is full of irresponsible idiots.... and this crazy country lets them vote. We need a constitutional amendment that institutes an IQ test before people an vote.

Another freeper wrote to me, several days ago: The true owners?!?!? So you think the government is the "true owner" of our property?!? No wonder you like a statist like Trump. You have no respect for property rights yourself.

I responded:

Tell you what, smart guy.
Next property tax bill you get, withold 50 bucks.
Tell them you're not gonna pay, just on principle.
Let me know how that works out for you in 3 or 4 years.
When I buy property, I pay it off as fast as I possibly can. My 15 year mortgages are usually 7 or 8 years.
So, all my property is always paid for IN FULL.
It really annoys me when people like yourself who are shackled to a 30 year mortgage pretend that they own something they don't - since they're playing Liar's Poker with their lifestyle. You know, $1100 a month mortgage payment for 30 years, two $600 a month car payments, all their credit cards maxed out, and barely making the interest payments.
But look at the GREAT life they're living!
So, when the local government shows up at my door twice a year with a "rent" bill on something I've paid for in full, I get annoyed. And I get annoyed at the Maxed Credit weenies who don't understand why I'm getting annoyed.

[This was in response to someone who was getting all balled up about eminent domain, and I explained that only Alaskans own property. The rest of us rent, even if we paid it off in full.]

I understand.... when I was about 17 there was something happened at work or someplace that was just so unfair. I was ranting about how unfair it was and how life shouldn't be like that, and how I was cheated... yada yada. My father sat me down and said that most people who spend their lives complaining about what's wrong with "the world".... never amount to anything. Obviously some do, but most don't. He said successful people evaluate how things are, and then work hard to be successful while keeping in mind how things are.

Some people are born to change things. They are few and far between. Most of us, if we work hard, understand "how things are", and are smart enough to work within that, can be successful.

If we're born with not enough brains to do that, there is a good chance we shouldn't be voting. Our governmental system has the ability for the ----without's/brain dead/idiots/lazy/lowlife/losers ----- to acquire enough votes to just steal from the hard working people.

Hillary Clinton tells people it is racism, sexism, homophobism, republicans, 1 percentes, systematic discrimination etc that causes people to be losers. Sarah Palin tells her listeners that is because we can't get the government off our backs. At the end of the day, both have a similar message. It's someone elses fault when we fail. That's the message. Trumpy has tapped into that..... in my opinion. It's obammy, it's the stupid people running this country, it's the bad trade deals, it's unfair taxes, it's something besides us.
