Flip Flop
Even though I live a life that would be deemed the “mantra” of conservative idealism some members of my family have placed a different brand upon me.
So… what is the “mantra of conservatism” ?
Personal responsibility comes to mind… as does fiscal responsibility.
Reliance on no social benefits what so ever can be thrown in there as well.
Being completely self reliant and self employed on top of being denied any social benefit I have had the need to ask for these past 30 + years… I’d say I sing the conservative mantra .
However, there are those in my family who would label me a Liberal Communist .
That title bestowed upon me because it was…and still is… my belief that Obama’s stimulus package worked. Let’s build roads and bridges and put people back to “work” for their money was the idea . Because of that theory we got new roads and bridges. And people started working and building homes here in Florida again…. six years ago.
I’ve just spent years struggling to get people to come to work 5 days a week. It only became more difficult as the rate of the unemployed kept dropping. Almost overnight this terrible virus caused half the people in my service industry economy to lose their jobs. One would only imagine this would create a pool of workers ….. but
I just received an email from another cleaning company with the request for help .
She can’t hire any one ….. seems those laid off workers don’t want to accept a new job until they find out what kind of money they will get from the super stimulus unemployment benefits we all keep hearing about.
Who’d of ever thought ….
that socialism would prosper under a “conservative” government ?
