(59,870 posts)Today, I had to get up at 4 A.M. to get to work, and Ill be lucky if I get to bed by 11 PM in the third country I have to be in today. I was recruited for by my job in 1975 at age 23, and Im still with the same employer, full time, today.
Just how much longer does Doctor Effendi expect me to be doing this in order to satisfy his social expectation? Does he work MY kind of hours? And since the Republicans in Congress are just as uncaring as the Democrats about fixing Residence Based Taxation for the 9 million Americans Abroad, I get hit for about a 73% income tax rate between Germany and the USA (Heil Honecker).
I am not interested in some TV quack spouting off about some subject on which he is clueless. Well, he IS a Republican, so if he is spouting off on any subject whatsoever, he is likely to be clueless.

And what does he mean by work better because we're healthy? Is he implying we aren't working good enough now?
Just what does this walking sack of shit expect from us?
He expects us to be the one who pay the taxes that support the government because he sure ain't gonna be paying taxes.
So, the bottom line is work harder, not smarter, and work longer for less so we can pay more taxes than they do and thus pay down the debt that they aren't paying down because they don't pay taxes.
Wow, that sounds great, sign me up!

I started work at 14. I'm done. I literally cannot work any more because I have long covid. And I have long covid, almost certainly, because these reich-wing psychopaths fed their gullible fellow travellers the line that covid was no big deal.
More than three decades ago I asked my oldest cousin why he and his wife didn't have kids. He told me that he didn't want to breed more servants for rich people. Every year that I have aged I realize more and more how correct he was.
