I was taught that there is satisfaction in a job well done.

Such a simple concept that is seldom heard anymore in some demographics.

Now, let me ask you: If the press is not free to report the truth as they see it, why do you expect that we should believe the "facts" that you use to support your positions?






This does nothing to prove overall happiness.


For those using anecdotal evidence, or just evidence of yourselves making it, that doesn't mean we have social mobility. The vast majority of people can't move up within our system, it only allows a very small number. Looking at the data I posted, it shows that social mobility is far more prevalent in these countries with "socialist" policies. It is fact that social welfare helps improve chances of social mobility.

We are graduating more people from college than at any time in history.
We have more jobs available, and the lowest unemployment than at any other time in history.
Our small business environment is the best ever.

Opportunities are everywhere you look.

People just need to get off of the sofa, turn of the video games and go for it.

Success requires smarts, hard work and planning.

Apparently, the big issue is no longer that Americans are evil, greedy racists. We are now faced with the fact that some Americans are not happy. This is certainly an improvement. Thank you, President Trump, for another job well done.

I believe Threedog really believes what he is saying.
The point though I do not understand. If he thinks we should do all the things the videos I posted show are ludicrous?

Threedog believes that you and I make others unhappy. That is what I have been able to gather from his posts.

You provide them with food, Tony provides them with shelter, I have taught them to earn a living. What more can one ask?
