Picked the cotton maybe,built the White House?No way.
We should have picked our own cotton.
I have picked cotton, cut, dried and hung tobacco, milked cows, raised chickens, and fed my family from the ground. I have helped build barns, silos, chicken coops and put in sprinkler systems. I have fixed cars, trucks, weed whackers and lawnmowers. I have gotten up early, did my chores, gone to school, then to work in a butcher shop, then to college and back home at night to do it again the next day. I have graduated college, joined the Army, served 2 enlistments of 7 years and was honorably discharged. I learned computers, got my industry certifications. I have traveled the world helping banks and financial institutions protect themselves from hackers and natural disasters. I and worked hard and built my life to where it is now. I am now 50 and make a six figure income.
And I am HIGHLY OFFENDED that a dope smoking privilege slacker is claiming or even inferring that he has done one damn days worth of work.
I do not need or want some unelected government bureaucrat telling me how to run my life when he cant even run his own.
His forefathers furnished the people who picked the cotton.
They were slave traders.
