| | Once again no posting for a long time. I just hate writing, it was always my least favorite throughout all my years of school. My last post was rather depressing and I am actually doing better than ever with the passing of my grandpa and my grandma even though she passed 7 years ago. I think the reason is that I know they are together again in spirit and gives a sense of closure.
Next I hate our current government system and the way the world is going. It seems that it is impossible to get ahead and that no one looks at the big picture anymore. One example of the impossible to get ahead is that a new calendar year begins and all of a sudden I am making less money, not because of a demotion at work but because someone thought it was a good idea to raise taxes yet again so now I am taxed an additional 2% of my salary. I know I could pay less and claim a deduction but right now the government takes away 32% of my check. That is ridiculous, why should I pay more for nothing I use. When I retire there will be no social security, I have health insurance, and I don't need welfare nor should I be responsible for lazy people or those who decide to have kids while financially unstable. I see these lazy ass girls as work, both black and white, that are hardly out of high school and knocked up or already have kids working a $7 an hour job raising kids. Why should I give up my money for them. It is not like I can afford to pay more for their mistakes. I could use that money I pay out in taxes for services I should not be responsible for to eliminate my debts caused by going to college to make a better life for myself. I know and agree that I need to pay taxes to help pay for services local, state and federal government provides. What I would prefer is that you pay taxes kind of like utility bills. You use the roads, pay 1% of your income for that service, public transportation .5%, law enforcement and emergency services 2% and so on. Yeah I know that would be difficult to ever do but if I saw what my tax dollars were going towards I would feel much better. I am aware that half of federal tax income goes to the Pentagon but on the state and local level a vast amount is welfare and why. Are we some socialist nation with a free ride for all no matter their bad decisions, no. We are a strong capitalist nation, we fend for ourselves and need to instill those values of accountability and personal responsibility into every citizen. Civil liberties need to be fair for all citizens to give all a equal standing but besides that eliminate the free ride.
Next I know people will say that some people don't have a chance because of the system and are already at a disadvantage but that is bullshit. There is opportunity for us all, true some people have more negative influences in hold them back but everyone has a hard life in one way or another, the kid in the ghetto has drugs and gangs but at the same time the middle class kid has more money but working parents and left to fend for themselves and disconnect from their family because no attention is paid towards them they are just given money to smooth over the lack of parental involvement. So the point of this all is fuck increased taxes, give me damn money back, stop all this liberal pussy bullshit and get back to the root of system of government. Let's go libertarian and reduce the central government to a skeleton.
And yeah life is going good I guess, my job is good and I am about done with training. My nine month program ends in April so now I have to apply for a new position as a store manager somewhere. Not sure if I want to stay in Indy or not. I know what position I want to go into now. I want to become a brand central manager which is the manager of home appliances and electronics. So much easier than clothing or hardware because you have larger items so much less moving a bunch of little crap and well I am just not gay enough to be an apparel manager. Eventually I do want to move into the corporate office setting but the more store experience I have the more valuable I am at the corporate level and the higher my salary will be. After my rant about higher taxes at least I am guaranteed about a $6,000 raise when I get a new position out of training. Then more taxes taken out and the cycle begins again.
