None of the above quite the opposite actually, i just have principles which i believe in. I believe in capitalism, and I believe in the American dream, that if you work hard you can achieve great things. Now it seems that you should be punished for working hard and earning a lot of money. I believe in helping people that can’t help themselves, and not people that won’t help themselves, unfortunately helping one means helping the other.

A rebellion might not be too far off. It’s not just my country its our country, I’m not alone in by beliefs.
