Only to a leftist can work ethic, self improvement, and personal responsibility be considered taboo and controversial. I'm a leftist I've held jobs constantly since I was 15, I've saved and budgeted responsibly, I put myself through school, and I'm a homeowner. But I guess I'm just a filthy liberal who doesn't want to work and just wants handouts. --- Not removing this until Mega Man 64 is released on the Wii Virtual Console.

This topic just proves beyond a shadow of a doubt how toxic liberalism really is. Only to a leftist can work ethic, self improvement, and personal responsibility be considered taboo and controversial. The only people who disagree with Mike Rowe are worthless, miserable, parasitic husks who want nothing better for their own lives except to drag everyone else down with them.

Pretty much everything in your post falls apart on the ground that he says to find a new job if you hate your current job. If you're stuck in a bad, dead end job don't bitch about it. Find a new one that's better. My post does not "fall apart" from one point. Furthermore, there are plenty of people who are not in a situation to find a new job. You're brainwashed. The fact you even posted "that's how I know I'm not a millenial" shows how little self-awareness you actually have. This guy is a walking contradiction. He's against tuition fees, makes a big deal about the importance of education, yet tells people not to get into debt. And to top it all off, he's worked with the for-profit school Universal Technical Institute. And "UTI is a For-Profit trade school investigated by the Senate. In its investigation, the Senate found that UTI did not provide a better education than a community college, but charged significantly more." The truth is that he's just a fake 'blue-collar-guy' who's pandering to adults who stopped maturing intellectually/spiritually at the age of 13. This shit is designed to flatter their stupid, slavish existences and make a quick-and-dirty buck on the margin. What's sick is that it's going to feed the beast of adults voting in favor of anti-intellectualism, vague bootstraps bullshit that doesn't square with socioeconomic realities or the real job market, and a whole slew of other policies that effectively cannibalize younger generations including yourself But no no, we don't understand. He used to have this show called Dirty Jobs, that makes him an expert on jobs... You might as well add a 13th point: 13) When I am no longer economically viable due to age, illness or my own failings, I will end my life rather than burden society with my existence. --- Everybody knows that everybody dies ...

I'm also white. if any of those things weren't true, it might not matter how hard I worked.

That shows why you're not worth engaging. It doesn't matter. You're not actually responding to my points, just insulting me and others. You've been brainwashed to think that anyone can and should just work hard and things will work out for them.

It's factually incorrect and you keep on drinking the koolaid and refuse to address my posts because I don't log in or post that often. Get real, the only reason you're like this is because you have fallen hook, line, and sinker and to admit that would be to admit that you're wrong and your entire worldview is wrong. Whatever. You want to deny systematic issues that plague the country and tell yourself that the only reason people are poor is because they don't work hard, go for it.
