Am I supposed to cry for you? Do you understand what life was like for the Americans that created this country for you? Do you realize they had many times in their lives where they would have killed to work for the wages and comfort that a McDonald's offered? The whining and class warfare from the "little men" at FR is what is truly a joke. You don't even realize that there are just as many conservatives and people on FR that are making no more than a lot of these people whining about being unemployed (on the freaking internet!) yet they actually believe in conservatism unlike these people whining and blaming George Bush and capitalism for their problems.
Not if they knew that the $5.15 they would be making wouldn't buy them a house and they'd better hope to find a wife making $10 an hour at least. Sure $5.15 would have sounded great 200 years ago ---- but they didn't have $100,000 homes with $4000 a year property taxes ---- McDonalds jobs won't even pay the property tax ---- I hate to offend you ---but if you're working at one, you might think it's pretty good ---but some of us have enjoyed other jobs where we get more ahead.
Don't cry for me----I've got a job that pays decent wages. Yes, I know that the quality of life now is better than it was 230 years ago-----what's your point? I try to live at least somewhat in the present. Do you support reparations too?
And I hate to be the one to break it to you, but free trade is not a conservative ideal----it's a Republican ideal, as well as a Democrat ideal.
I've personally never made more than 20k a year from a job ever! (I currently make a lot less!) I did not inherit any money or win the lottery, but I can retire and live a life of leisure and travel and long before I am 60, if I wish!
I learned along time ago the difference between poor people and rich people. It isn't how much money you make, it is what you do with the money once you get it!
The American Dream is not a job and a home with a two-car garage. "That" is some Socialist Union thugs bait to suck in the masses to pay union dues.
The American Dream is to take the opportunities given to you and run with it, innovate, dream and dare to achieve and make a life for you and your family!

The DNC could do no better than collect your "let them eat cake", "suck it up, whiner", "if your unemployed its because you're a loser who deserves to be removed from the gene pool" posts and distribute them on election day. You are a New Dealers parody of a fat cat Republican, the stuff Democratic landslides are made of. So how can you be so confident Bush will win ? Most people, thank God, are nothing like you.
