Whats The Best Way Too Make It In America?

  1.  
    "barely surviving to slowly die" is not the same as "making it."
     
    The only way to "make it" in america is to be born into the right circumstances and not get fucked over by other people doing destructive things.

     
  2.  
     
    Notice how my post you quoted specifically said "survive"
     
    And I disagree that that's the only way to make it in America. Like I touched on before, I have plenty of friends who started off in shitty situations and are now making it just fine. It's not impossible to go from flipping burgers to owning a house and supporting a family, you just have to go about it the right way and be willing to make some sacrifices. It's not a sure thing, but it absolutely can and has been done time and time again. 
     
  3. not in my region
     
  4. i said "the right circumstances."
     
    Sometimes that can include starting from the bottom. But from the bottom, a very rare few people manage to encounter "the right circumstances," which allow them any opportunity to "make it." It's not absolutely impossible for everyone who isn't born into affluence, but it is absolutely impossible for the majority of them.

    Cheers,
    The wait times aren't as bad as shown in american news media. You are being  decieved by those that don't want public healthcare. Also the myth of socialism in Canada. If we can have a "socialist" system with freedom, healthcare and all the goodies of the "American dream" then we are doing awesome. I guess you could say that we feel if we can spend money to kill others in war we can spend to save peoples lives at home.
     
    America isn't ready for Obamacare because of the system that was in place for far too long. The country is very much engrained in the past system not ready nor willing for change.

    I still disagree, I think the amount of people it's possible for is greater than you think it is. But I guess we'll just have to agree to disagree. 
     
  7. "it's called the American Dream because you have to be asleep to believe it."

  8. Sammy and janedough what you are failing to see is that minimum wage is set by the government to keep the majority of its work force in a comfort zone all I'm saying is if your happy being in that comfort zone with enough money to pay your bills and taxes and that's it then your a happy sheep just like the rest of America making min wage and on state assistance. I would rather quit my job and live off the land in the woods then work a 9-5 to pay the government and my land lord....where the fuck does it end are you gonna live your whole life giving 90% of your money to the government and your landlord which a lot of times is the same fuckin thing But there is nothing wrong being a happy sheep like you guys obviously are it's just not for me baaaaaaaaa baaaaaaaa baaaaaaaaa byyyyeeeeee ( sheep voice)

    ill say it to you also in my opinion the meaning of life is to give life meaning what is the meaning of your life if you live it as a slave to the government you get more then 50 cents an hour but you gotta give half of it to the government and then another 6% when you buy food and even more on other products so all in all your a fuckin sheep and you don't even know it it's sad really

  11. Lol literally nobody is giving up half their paycheck to taxes, they're proportionate so it's never half try more like 1/5 and wtf does paying 6% sales tax have to do with ANYTHING? you are going to pay that whether you make 15k a year or 150k a year. You're just throwing irrelevant info into your replies now.

  12. Out of a 800 dollar paycheck I get 540 now minus 6% percent out of that cause that's going to taxes if I spend it in America which I will now the car I already paid taxes on when I bought it I have to pay more taxes on to registered it to drive on the roads my tax money already paid for.....the more I get into this conversation with people the more I realize that your all so happy to defend living like a sheep that that is the modern day American dream to be a sheep herded by the government I am very happy living the way I choose and am very great full that I was not raised to accept things without out doing my own reasoning on the subject

    OK Mr enlightened one, tell us then, how are you not a sheep then because by your definition of sheep you are one as well but then proceed to try to condemn us. In literally every single one of your posts you mention that we're sheep. Sound like a pretentious prick

    Anyways obviously arguing with you is a vein effort, so I will not continue. I need to sleep so I can get up early and get on with my sheeple duties, being a sheep and doing sheep like things :)

    You can work a 9-5 and still have plenty of meaning in your life. A decent job is oftentimes just the means with which you can afford to give your life meaning. 
     
  15. you are prob just mad that your life is fucked your probably ass backwards on loans and have no way out maybe I shouldn't use the word sheep Jane dough actually made a valid point you on the other hand are in denial that you hate your life and are to afraid to make any changes

    Dude... not cool 
     
    Who are you to tell other people what their meaning in life should be? 
     
  17. You guys both quoted me and told me I was wrong so I figured I would show you how close minded you both were so don't quote me if you don't want me to explain the quote and especially don't quote me if your gonna get all butt hurt when I tell it like it is

    My butt is fine. It doesn't tend to hurt when I disagree with people, which is nice. :laughing: 
     
  19. Just bc you're too afraid to play the game doesn't mean the rest of us are.

    Its the people who settle in which you're talking about, you're getting it twisted. Gotta play the game.
     
  20. the privileged and lucky will never understand the plight of the downtrodden.
     
    Never.
