If you complain then well off Freepers call you a socialist crybaby.
Some (though not here, honestly) have called me pretty much exactly that, but they could not be farther from the Truth of the matter. I’m old school, raised in lower middle class, sometimes close to poverty, and just really tried to apply myself in my vocation. Along the way, there was fortune and misfortune, as there is for all of us. My complaining, while definitely personal (the whining...), is more about how our middle class has been gutted, and how grotesque the ‘elite’ have become. This phenomena is culturally divisive/destabilizing, and so has disastrous long-term consequences for a free people/nation. (I won’t go into my rant about how Social Security and Medicare always seem to be on the chopping block, while every single other governmental use/waste of my money seems never to be in danger. It’s almost as if the powers that be want to keep reminding us that they’re in control or something...)
