I'm 55 Yrs Old, Middle-Class White Male, Retired Military...and I'm pi$$ed as hell

[StarzGuy]

75. I am also mad a hell. I am one of those teachers who now am disabled and...

...I can't make ends meet with my SSDI benefit and a small pension. I feel I was sold a bill of goods not worth a plug nickle. I worked hard as a teacher for over 30 years. I was always discounted, I didn't matter, little if any respect from administrators, parents, kids and the state legislature. It took me nearly 30 years to attain a mid $50K salary with benefits. I have many degrees all the way up to a PhD. but it makes little difference. How is it that a professional sports player can be worth $150,000,000 and I, a teacher can not even afford to live anymore given the meager disability benefit? What kind of F**ked up world is this?

Trickle down (Pi** down in actuality) BS started long before Reagan, but in fairness the meanest pile of poop began with his administration. Dems made few inroads and were also part of the demise of the middle class. Once in office, their salaries and back door deals makes them rich and part of the 1%.

I'm really not all that political but I do know when I've been sold that sorry bill of goods AKA you can make it into the middle class and have a good life.
