That Huckleberry tweet shows how the entire party thinks - everyone is 100% equal and the only thing keeping one person from wealth is hard work.
It is the biggest line of BS that they sell to middle class and lower income white people and they still believe it. Trust us and we'll give you a few crumbs we have left!
I consider myself so fortunate to have had the opportunities I had and more importantly, that I hit the job market before the GOP had picked it clean like a vulture pecking at a corpse. I feel so bad for the younger generation. Some of us are sorry. We tried. 2 terms of Obama. In hindsight we were incredibly lucky to have gotten that.
I chat with the Security guards where I work and they're getting screwed over at different levels. Upper Management screwed up so they're pinching pennies. They gave the security guard contract to another company and are reducing their pay and hours. The most competent worker is a young guy who will be laid off and I think he's already gone. That alone tells how much Meritocracy is bulls***.
Another guard who is older than me is thinking of trying out for the Truck Driving company I work for. I think currently he makes less than $12 an hour and of course just short of being full-time.
This last example is very common for people of different backgrounds who are looking everywhere for a second career opportunity. They go to truck driving school and kind of become nomads traveling the country without much home life. I know I've been there and it sucks.
