Playing By the Rules Is for Suckers

Howdy suckers, and welcome to the failed state that is America 2023. This used to be a country where you succeeded by working hard and playing by the rules, but there are new rules now. Here are two: One, there are no rules. Two, if you think there are rules and play by them, you are a sucker. But the good news is this is all going to come crashing down.
In the meantime, welcome to the suck. Just look at yourself, all responsible and upstanding. You worked hard, and you played by the rules. You didn’t go out and commit felonies or drop a bunch of kids with so many partners that you need a spreadsheet to keep Father’s Day straight. You’ve earned a credit score in the triple digits by paying your bills. Congratulations. Now you get to pay for the deadbeats who party while you grind out a paycheck. The Biden regime’s new plan is to add a surcharge to the mortgages of people with good credit scores to subsidize a key Democrat constituency, the ditzes, doofuses, layabouts, and bums whose bad decisions would have once led to bad consequences, except we only do dire consequences for good people in 2023. Their problems are your problems, and your problems are also your problems. That will teach you to do the right thing!
The same is true if you were a sucker, like me, who actually paid off his own student loans. But what about that gender studies major out there who does not feel like paying the diploma debt? He/she/xe made a bad decision, except it turned out to be a good decision because if the Democrats get their way, that useless college degree will be free! You get to pay his/her/xir student loan off. Why? Because you can, and you can because you are not a lazy deadbeat. Which makes you wrong.
See, not being a lazy deadbeat is where you went wrong.
