Yep. You worked hard, played by the rules, and still got screwed with no recourse. When people see that, and the writing it leaves on the wall, in cases like yours and many others throughout the country, I think it’s safe to say that things are not working out.
And if that’s how young people form their view of Capitalism, of course they’re going to think it’s crap. Hope things get better for you, friend. We can’t close our eyes to stuff like this, because it all informs how people see the incentives before them. If action isn’t taken, people will respond accordingly.
AND as I was playing by the rules I got to witness millions of imported trash paid to come here and go on welfare having all their expenses paid by my check every April 15th. Even worse, getting billions of tax dollars as “charities” to get even more imported trash on welfare. Add to that the massive fraud committed by imported trash ripping off billions. Why did I work and run a business all these years? Van life looks pretty good.
