Save the confessions for your therapist if you are middle class. There is slightly more to being Middle-Class than having a certain income.

Obviously you've never been around kids before. Rich or poor. Rich kids are some of the hardest drug abusers out there. They just tend to be able to get their hands on more expensive designer drugs.
I'm assuming you didn't go to college either? Neither did I, to be fair, but I was at college parties so much that people who attended classes there saw me so much they would ask me what my major was.
Doing drugs is not at all an indicator of your "class status".
Taking my candor about my misguided past and trying to it against me in a personal attack tells us a lot about how classy you are though.

This isn't a public confession. I don't know who you are anymore than you know who I am.
My confession, as you call it, was insight into something JSF said. He implied that somebody engaged in stupid behavior because they were stupid. I was coming from a different perspective to say that the drugs involved likely had a lot more to do with the behavior than the raw intelligence of the person who carried out the act.
You're just salty that I outed you for being raped by a Texas Republican in your youth.
It's not your fault man. That's a shitty thing to happen to a kid and you didn't have any control over the situation. My heart goes out to you.

Quote:Oh, please. You even write like a guest on The Jerry Springer Show, which has been accused of inauthenticity. All the guests are actors; they are all playing a character based on approximations of themselves. If I take what a guest on Springer says as real or what 6ixStringJack says as real, then none of them are Middle-Class. Jerry Springer, the man, is exempted from being lower-class because he is the ringmaster, the lion tamer, the elephant herder of the circus that is his show. He is not confused about who are the animals on his show. I am not confused about 6ixStringJack's low status, either, even if 6ix thinks he is the ringmaster when he really is the pony with a dog or a monkey riding on his back.

I hate Trump no more than I hate Trump-like businessmen that I have sued for breach of contract. Bankrupting some of them was a side effect of getting my money back plus interest and legal expenses. There was a suicide from one who couldn't live with the failure of his business. The part of me that knows Republicans are better than Democrats for lower taxes on the wealthy saw that death as well-deserved justice. That guy long had it coming and my attorneys made it happen. Three cheers for expensive Houston law firms and Robert Mueller!
But, to the topic: What "contract" did you have with Trump that he broke? Because, yanno, you're just projecting your own problems on somebody that doesn't seem to have anything ot do with them.
SIX: I think SECOND was disabled in some way due to the helicopter accident that SECOND mentioned some time ago. Maybe he's blind, or impotent and in a wheelchair. That would explain all of the anger.

Quote:From that helicopter crash I’ve got one leg shorter than the other and two ankles with reduced movement. Running is impossible, but I can limp kind of fast. Walking always reminds me that I burn to punch Nixon’s face through the back of his head. Since he is dead, that tasty and delicious animosity has diffused into a cloud around lying Republicans. It’s fun to go to court and fight the Vietnam War again, but this time I win and the Republican loses. I never had business dealings with Trump, but he is the biggest liar in business and the GOP. I want to see his downfall in court. I want to see him bankrupt. And if he will shoot himself in head, that would really make my entire month joyful, now that Nixon’s dead. I probably should be mad at LBJ over Vietnam, but I can’t. His Presidential Library is in Austin where I went to the University of Texas. I understand all too well what kind of monster LBJ was. I’m one, too, and I like him because I’m like him.

Meh... fuck it. Sure Second. I'm lower class. Whatever.
I'm the single person in the country with almost zero responsibility and zero debt to anybody that is able to work 6 days out of the month and pay all their bills.
If that makes me lower class, then I'm proud to be one. 
At least I'm not making money off the backs of other people. That leaves my conscience clear so I don't have to spend my days virtue signaling to try to shed myself of all that guilt you're carrying around on your back.
Sounds like being in the 1% is hell man. Your life sucks, even with all that money. You should probably just give it all away.

Your POV is radically off-kilter. Dood, you need to do something with yourself besides honing your long-burning hatred of a man who died more than 20 years ago! And while you're at it, get rid of all of that self-justification that's required when you're a rich asshole. If you can't see to giving your money away, at least stop being such as ass.
*****
SIX, you're right. It seems being rich really doesn't buy happiness. It certainly doesn't buy a decent set of ethics!
There might be something else going on with SECOND: Possibly he's a chronic drinker. That kind of "stinkin' thinkin'" is especially common in drunks.

This comes from Table B-3 in the Congressional Budget Office report, page 129, so far in the back that no one reads it. The exact figure is $1.854 trillion from 2018 to 2028. That number was promised by Trump to be zero dollars or even a negative number.
www.cbo.gov/publication/53651
In other words, the tax cut doesn’t pay for itself. It doesn’t even partially pay for itself.

Trump is calling backsies on exiting the Trans-Pacific Partnership trade deal
www.vox.com/policy-and-politics/2018/4/12/17230058/trump-trans-pacific
-partnership-trade-deal-renegotiate
Trump has directed his economic advisers to look into renegotiating the US back into TPP.
President Donald Trump, who called the Trans-Pacific Partnership trade deal a “disaster” and pulled the United States out of the agreement in his first action as president, wants back in.
Trump has directed Larry Kudlow, his new top economic adviser, and US Trade Representative Robert Lighthizer to look into negotiating the US’s reentry into the TPP, Sens. Pat Roberts (R-KS) and Ben Sasse (R-NE) told reporters.
It’s a truly shocking reversal from Trump on one of his signature campaign promises.
