I'm with this guy. I'm proud to be white male, but I don't think that makes me better then anyone else.

Lets face it-were all muts here for the most part. I'm italian and german, but american sinceI was born here. I have no problem with people of differant races as long as they do the right thing and try to live a good life and embrace this country-not suck the life and funds out of it or try to change it. I see it like this. To become a better rider or whatever it is you do you have to practice new and better things-not the same old things or you will never move forward and get a possitive outcome. With that said,I feel that if someone comes from a place that was messed up and they did not like how it was going then come here and do it a differant way-not the same way you did things there, because you will just get the same ****ty outcome and bring others down with you.

By the wayI am in the most negleted demographic segment there is in this country-A white middle-aged male. We get no help form the goverment like some other people do, but I don't bitch about it or ask for hand out. I just work hard and make my way the best I can and watch most others reep the benifits. Example-My one Step-sister is like 33? and a single mom-never married, just knocked up. She works no more then 32 hours a week and she gets all kinds of help form the goverment. She got like $5k back in taxes.I will be lucky to see $400.00 andI work 40+ hours a week and take nothing from the goverment.

Sorry to go off topic, but I just wanted to point out that us white boys don't always have it as good as some think

 

plus we can't jump or dance.

 

Are you saying that you are jealous of your step-sister in getting a larger tax return? I thought you were going to reference welfare instead of tax returns. If you were a single parent, you would get back that much, too. If you owned a house with a mortgage you would get even more back. Basically, what I'm understanding, is that if all of the "other" people thought like a white person, there wouldn't be a problem.

 

yes the tax returns.

 

You get back 400 .... Be thankfull you are not paying..
Im a business owner ... homeowner ... have one kid and a wife that has not worked for about 4 years now .. im only 24...
I payed last about 10,500 for just my business .. my personal taxes - don't even want to go there... plus I pay quarterly taxes for my business on top of the yearly...
Oh yea im hispanic... my parents born in mexico .. I was born in cali.... don't ask for no handouts ... I think of my self as one of the highest contributors to my city asfar as taxes go... so 400 bucks .. damn thats great

 

The only thing you can do is lower your "earned income" $5000 back for a child is significant, but you have to consider how much that child costs in upbringing. I'm basically in the same boat as you, but I don't see how I'm being treated unfairly. I personally don't like seeing my money being used for some ill-concieved programs that just don't work. I would prefer to have that money back in my pocket. Other people might prefer to live in a socialist country because, you know there, you get free healthcare. We won't mention the fact that it takes up to a week to actually get an appointment and the fact that you have higher taxes to pay for sub par care.

When we got the tax break a couple years ago, my local income tax immediatedly went up and took it. I've come to not rely on my taxes except to pay for other taxes.

Anyway, I feel your pain.

 

I forgot to mention the welfare thing, but yeah she has been on that too and also gets or have had help form the goverment for houseing. I'm not jealous of her ro any freeloader. I always try to do the right thing and pay my own way no matter what. By the way I have my own house.

Woo545 Your always going to come back at us with some kind of fact on this topic that you dug upso F'it I'm done-you only want to see it your way. I'm damn proud of who I am and feel the way I feel about things and if someone don't like it then too bad.

I think sometimes we just all need to stick with talking about bikes and riding.

Sorry for trying.

 

This thread is a waste of zero's and one's. Where's the mods? Clearly walking a thin line with #2 of the official rules.

 

Mods, Don't we have a separate sections for mods?

Yup, thanks for the reminder that my time is a waste. We are definitely better off watching the next crash vid, lambasting Harley riders or some other type of person. It's much more productive preaching how much we hate everyone else.

I've never felt this passonate about prejudice until this forum. I've never experienced it to this degree in my entire life.
