84. Just understand

Some of us don't care about those people and want their ugly, old, fat 45 to be successful.

Know why?

It.
Will.
Hurt.
Them. The other.

They aren't like me and I have no use for their existence in my country. They drag us down with their whiny, lazy, cry baby sobbing about being left behind.

They made those life choices and that's why they are failures.

I moved 450 miles away from home, not knowing a soul - for economic opportunity. I'm sick of them. They aren't special and they failed at the game of America. They have a hundred reasons why they can't make the sacrifice of family, friends, and my hometown - and not one of why they could.

And - I've found a way to claw back my tax bill next year - because the SALT cap.has stolen my hard earned money and given it to them no strings attached.

I'm going to complete my term in office but that's it. I won't be giving to any charities or worrying when they lose their health insurance. Its a self-inflicted wound. My name is NOT Prissy -

And I won't be their slave. Let gramps go pick corn. Don't care if he has an oxygen tank and diabetes at 58 - its his problem to deal with.
