    Yeah the lefts plan is to make everyone poor.
    Redistribution of wealth, force you to buy health insurance you probably don't need, redistribution of debt with student loan forgiveness BS.

    The only problem is I have a Elevation survey + a LOMA from FEMA

    Poverty is listed as $20k/year but with Walmart and McDs going to $40,000.00/year I think its the new high water mark.

    The sad part about all of this is that people buy into this BS about their job defining them. They think they are their house, their car, their paycheck, their khakis, their relationships. If you are defined by what you own then you are a loser. You MUST define yourself by what is inside. That is all that matters and all that you will take with you.

    I've lived out of my car and I've been in the top 10%. Nothing changed. You only want it until you have it and then you realize you are a slave no matter where you are on THEIR pay scale. Paper money is just a place holder for actual wealth. Its just numbers on a screen. It means nothing and the more you have, the more you want. Its never enough and people with money are always afraid of losing it. People with out money feel they are always being held down. Its a rat race. The only way to win is to quit playing.

    You may think I'm full of crap but just wait and see where the dollar is this time next year. I'll give you a clue, everyone is going to be a millionaire.

    OK, one more example. In 1890 my grandfather bought 169 acres of land in CO. He paid no real estate taxes because there weren't any. He didn't work a job and bring home a pay check. He fed 6 states by raising cattle and taking them to all the surrounding states. He bought and sold everything using gold and silver. He mined for gold. He built several houses including the first hotel in the state without building permits. He didn't have a birth certificate and he always carried a gun on his hip. What has changed since then? It wasn't the law. The laws are the same today as they were then. Figure that out and you will set yourself free.
