I don't live in a bubble. I live in reality.

The reality is that Companies don't give a shit and don't pay shit. I work for one of the worlds largest companies who made 15 billion in profits last year and did not pay any Federal taxes.

And yet they scream that the Co is going broke. They restructured the insurance plan and now you have to pay the 1st $2k out of you own pocket then it is 80/20. And they are self insured. They can structure any plan they want but they just want to be greedy.

Oh and no pay raise either. The company is not making enough profits.

With 15 Billion in profits they could have given each employee 1 million in cash and still have 14.75 Billion left over.

And they say that their people are their most valuable asset. Utter bullshit.

Comment from website with Murray's test:
This test, to me was reminiscent of Jeff Foxworthy.
If you know who Jimmie Johnson is, you might be a redneck.
If you eat breakfast Sunday mornings at Applebee's, you might be a redneck.
If your Ford Torino is on blocks in your front yard next to your Dodge Charger, you might be a redneck.
If you believe in summarizing the lives of complex people in 25 questions, you might be Charles Murray.

Had to stop at "if you go back to 2008 before the recession". Really? What crazy universe were you in that the recession hadn't hit by 2008? The rest of us working class were well aware shit was hitting the fan way before that. Mostly thanks to your precious upper class rich douchebags.
