6. I've been thinking about teabaggers with the attitude that THEY built

this country. Thinking it's been taken away from them. What those guys did was work during the golden age when people had the best jobs this country ever had. They didn't do squat except for make it to work and get through the days.

I worked with guys that are retired now. Many of whom were the most entitled attitude workers I've ever seen. They felt they deserved to be semi-retired by the time they were 50. Supervisors that were a joke! No one gets away with what they did these day. A couple of those jobs at the beer distributor I worked at for years do not even exist now. What replaced them doesn't pay nearly what it used to. You definitely don't have someone just hanging around most of the day just in case something needs to be done.

I know a few "working class heroes" that couldn't get or keep a job these days the way they were in the 80's. You don't show up hungover every day and drive a forklift anymore.
