OK, I will address this.
Growing up, I dreamed of being a meteorologist. I went to school, got the degree, had good (admittedly not great) grades. Then the recession hit, just as I was graduating. I found myself getting totally ignored by the companies I wanted to work for, while those who were hired for the jobs were blonde bimbos with no credentials for the jobs. I had no way of getting into the field I had gambled thousands of dollars on being able to get into and was faced with either joining the military or giving up altogether. I've spent the last six years working the same job I had in high school.
Dating has been a nightmare. Every woman I have ever asked has turned me down. The last one said she would rather be single the rest of her life and saw nothing wrong with that picture; it's a scenario I see far too often in the women of modern society. Meanwhile I hear the gay lobby declaring marriage some "universal right" and forcing people no different from myself to kowtow to their demands against our conscience.
The government is taxing me for being in good health (admittedly one of my greatest blessings and one I never take for granted) and paying for what health needs I do have out of pocket instead of paying into an insurance pool I will not use.
The decline of western civilization is having a profound impact on my life. The basic things like a family and a decent middle-class career are vanishing before my eyes. That's why I am disgusted.
I truly feel for you brother. I'm working harder than I ever have just to tread water. You've got some legitimate grievances but then so do those blonde bimbos and gays. Even people who get their subsistence welfare from the government like social security, disability, unemployment, veteran benefits, tax sheltered solar businesses, military contractors, subsidized farmers, schools and teachers, government employees, parents, and home owners. Can anyone say they are NOT receiving some benefit from the tax payers. I can't. I get a substantial taxcut through the earned income tax credit just because I had 3 children and raised 2 more. What's more I think I would be a fool not to take it.
Just like the guy who milked unemployment till it ran out and then disability. He thinks he'd be a fool not to take it. and the rich widower who receives a SS check because she paid into it for 40 years. and the waitress on foodstamps. and the volunteer who lost his arm in Iraq. and the eco-nut who really believes his free solar panels will save the planet (the power is yours) and the drug dealing, prostitute single baby mamma of 3 different daddies with 5 Obamaphones. Not everyone agree that any of these people deserves a handup, but those who get a handout all agree they deserve it.

http://watchdogwire.com/florida/2012/07/06/government-largess-opiate-people/At the same time, we are all taxed on our purchases of food, clothes, entertainment, gas and power, and homes. I can pretty much list anything that I can buy and it's taxed. and not just that...its taxes upon taxes we all pay.
If I buy a product, I am really paying the federal, state and local taxes of the people who made, transported or sold the product built into the purchase price...from the lowliest worker to the CEO of the company. This is because if business didn't have to pay the taxes then business wouldn't have to charge as much. And if the employees didn't have to pay taxes then the business wouldn't have to pay it's employee's as much. I am also paying for the import taxes on the raw materials used to make it and the energy used to build it, and for the federal, state, and local taxes on the people who mined the coal that generates the energy, and the taxes on the truck used to ship the product to store, and the people who made the truck, and the store property taxes...and so the cycle goes on and on. The great thing for government is the higher the taxes drive up the cost for the product the more money they collect in my taxes.
We all have some legitimate grievances, although I wouldn't want to be the one to defend the lobster eating welfare surfer. Most of us don't like the way government is being run. Many of us believe in smaller government in theory, but in practice all the government money that should be going to us is going to others who don't deserve it.
And I'm not happy about the way our society is headed either.
Hang in there
