Depends on what you have to say; send me a PM, and we'll see.

Well, you're right about one thing at least; I gave up a long time ago. And honestly? While I have some regrets, I still think it was the best decision I could have made. As for leaving the area; did you miss the part where I said even a fifty mile radius area turned up nothing? At that point...

I don't know; maybe? I though about that every day for many years; that question nearly killed me. It's never been an option; though in my desperation, I end up trying for pretty much any job in a fifty mile radius of where I live, which is just south of Seattle. Countless times, yes. Yes...

I'm sorry; but where did I say I was blaming the rich for my problems? Or anyone for that matter? And no, I don't fill out applications anymore; I wasn't legally allowed to for three years, because of the terms of my loan forgiveness. And I don't care what mistakes you think I made in my search...

Pointing out that you have no idea what you're talking about says nothing about the effort I put into finding work. I'm 35 and never so much as kissed a girl, I graduated high school, I graduated from college with a 4.0 GPA, and I spent over four years of my life knocking on doors and filling...

I just want them to stop cheating. Everyone should be paying their fair share; no more, no less. And if you think that their fair share should be less? As long as you have a convincing argument, I am not completely against the idea. I am not some delusional nutjob who believes in wealth...

Yes, I am; I'm also the guy who has volunteered to hand out food to the homeless every week for the past, I think, six years now? Regardless, I'm on a first name basis with many of them, and none of homeless I've talked to are where they are because they didn't try hard enough. Again, I am...

For what it's worth, I'd also support either a flat tax rate, that has no exceptions or exemptions whatsoever, or switching entirely over to a sales tax, with food exempted. What I don't support is the idea that poor people are poor because they don't work hard enough, and that the rich are...

That's not the question you should be asking. What you should be asking is "why are some people benefiting drastically more than others? Particularly ones at the top who, quite frankly, have done nothing to earn a paycheck worth over a hundred times more that someone in the same position would...

Actually, one of the ways rich individuals avoid taxes is via incorporating; it lets them do things like pay themselves interest-free wages, claim expenses, and reduce their income taxes. And that's just one way; they can also send their money overseas to offshore tax havens, create a shell...

For what it's worth, I'm not arguing that their taxes should be raised; I just want those loopholes closed.

What about the massive increases in income inequality? Even assuming things are getting better, the people on the top are benefiting from that far more than everyone else. And they're not even paying their fair share; most of them exploit loopholes in the tax code to avoid paying any. As for...
