    It’s awesome how his company is doing the opposite of helping USA citizens afford property, homes, rent. Good job, you couch fucking dork.

    But don’t forget to blame those brown immigrants, folks! They’re the real problem according to JD

    Libertarians by their very definition cannot be patriotic.

    For starters, they want to destroy, defund, and minimize the state and beneficial services that make up a nation.

    Secondly they want to sell it off the peices to private interests.

    …and they want these things to reduce and avoid paying for their fair share, shifting their tax burden, and the tax burden for their companies to others.

    Libertarians can’t be patriotic, they by definition attack nations in the name of private enterprise, and personal profiteering.

    They seek to increase the wealth gap, exploit their fellow citizens, and disband the connection in between, reducing all to the profit motive, because they can have no other values to maintain but money. They’re nihilists, and comflict with all value systems which aren’t, including the nation and patriotism.

      Despite my Anarchist leanings, I still hate Tea-Partiers for their disregard for human life.

        On the back end the Tea Party movement was always a conglomeration of Koch related organizations and think tanks, who teamed up with 'Americans for Prosperity ', Phillip Morris, and ‘Citizens for a Sound Economy’.

        It’s an accurate small scale model of what parts of Trumps campaign would later become, using the appearance of a “grass roots” movement to disguise the big money interests driving things just under the surface.

      I’m in Ohio and I voted against him, but if you are involved in real estate even a little you’re definitely going to be selling some property to a foreign investor.

    Man, fuck me. And I’m out here struggling for to make ends meat meet trying to do “honest work”. I fucking hate this time line I’m in.

    Edit: thank you fellow native English speakers for correcting me, albeit in a snarky/condescending way, as it were, but still appreciate it.

      It absolutely infuriates me that having high ethical standards makes me a sucker.

      Frankly, at this point the only thing stopping me from saying “fuck it” and starting to blatantly lie and cheat to get ahead isn’t even that it’s “wrong,” but that I’m just too damn stubborn to be a “reasonable man”!

        You don’t need to cheat, just never do this bullshit of “go above and beyond”. Do what you’re paid to do, no more no less. That’s what I do. They ask for more, I tell them to pay me more.

        English isn’t my first language. So, not sure how to say it, but I know you know what I meant.

          I thought maybe it was something I hadn’t heard before. Humorous misunderstanding though.
