BTW, when I work, I get $85 an hour.

But you weren't 40 yrs ago. If the "Americans" building pools got
your same pay increases, they'd still be building pools and making a
living wage, as they were back then. That's why most of the unions
were busted and illegals allowed to flood the labor force. People
like you don't think hard working "Americans" deserve the same pay
increases you got. They're not worthy of just compensation for
busting their hump on a roof where it's 130F and they earn a living by
the sweat of their brow. They're not worthy cuz they didn't go to
college ...blah blah....

(why am I arguing with this dolt?)

Gee, Bob, I don't know. I was a "working man", starting my own welding
business, and turned it into a steel erection contractor business. I worked
offshore oilfield, doing 24, 36, and 48 hour gigs. I have worked 12-16
hours a day for months at a time. I've stayed at sea for months at a time.
I owned businesses, and corporations. I have a total of maybe 12 hours of
college. Trade school - welding. In house training for various companies I
worked for. Union trade classes. I don't consider myself anything special
as far as the working class is concerned. Today, I got up at 0530, and at
0600 started working with my helper on my construction project on my own
property, rather than hire it out. Steel work. Welding. I'm 62, had a
five way bypass and have an artificial heart valve. I'm on my third 18 year
old helper, drove two of them into the ground because they couldn't keep up
with me.

You wanna join me in a chorus of Working Class Hero? I don't get your
point, and think you have me confused with someone else.

Big deal, I wrote a book about my heart surgery. Anyone with high school
English can do the same thing.

Being stupid in life can be temporary or permanent, everyone has the right
to do what they want. Sean Hannity used to be a dishwasher.
