All I know is I’m somewhere on the borderline. My kids are grown. No credits. I’m middle aged white. No credits. All my investments but one small, and I mean small investment, are gone.

I pay my taxes. I pay my bills. And I’m failing. I live in a trailer house. And then a coworker tells me a couple of days ago about some “friends” of his MIL. Full on illegal Mexicans. Paid off their HOUSE. Kids just got orthodontics. Get food stamps. Energy assistance. YADA YADA YADA.

He has SIX uncashed paychecks in his wallet.

My weekly only covers the bills. And we actually get to eat human type food every third day.

And they brag. And they brag.

I see plenty getting goodies, handouts, breaks and I am apparently a fool to keep trying to move from contract gig to contract gig.

Throw in white, male, 40ish which appears to be three automatic strikes.

my two lazy inlaws both got on SS disability..the man probably 20 yrs ago, his wife about 5 yrs ago....they own their own house, a rental with an extra lot,plus 10 acres ub tge country....and both have sports cars, plus each have an suv...and the topper is that some indian friend brings them tons of "extra" food bank food...fresh veggies, can goods, flour, etc, etc...

consequently, I won't donate to the food bank anymore....probably a bunch of them live high on the hog with others peoples donations...

I'm sorry about your predicament...its true....white Americans especially those in the middle class or working class category, are getting screwed all ways...increasing taxes plus obeying all the rules like carrying car insurance and health insurance....
