They're Comin' to America!

 It's a myth that immigrants always add more to our country than they take...

Especially those who didn't really come in through the proper legal channels, and I don't mean those trekking up through our Southern border...

I mean the ones who came in, via the affluent.  Perhaps to serve as a servant girl, or au pair, or "worker" for a family that wanted hired help from abroad, and whose servant simply decided to stay.  Grab what you can get, cuz you sure ain't going back, and don't have the means to work your way up and in, legally without latching on to a man to help you.  It's a pattern that will keep repeating if you let it...

Sure, they educate their children here.  With some proud to pay as little in taxes as they can get away with...

And sometimes, plunk their elders -- which clearly they have the means to provide for, privately, with inter-generational care -- into socialist goverment care, because... why pay for something you can get for free?  Why care for your own, if you can spend your days gallivanting gayily while other people -- lessers -- are paid to take on your responsibilities?

Why?  Because ... pride, freedom.  You're not a very independent person if you continually rely on others -- synch their lifestyles to your own, all while criticizing and complaining and "fixing" others -- lessers so you can demonstrate how its done.

We see you.  And we don't think you're all that well liked, for all your grasping and grabbing for the freebies, you've lost your freedom to be, and all you have is what you can purchase and take from others.  "Dropping in" on their traditions, and lifestyles, and never ever really having much that you can independently call your own...

(Kids don't count.  If you haven't learned it yet, you will in time:  they are their own separate beings, and if successful, will independently build lives of their own.  That's why the nepo kids will never be the true leaders in society because the affluence and connections are binding, and too often, their elders set it up so that the dependency continues well into adulthood...)

Free Yourself, and your children will follow...  You might have "less" in terms of possessions that what your parents can help provide, but it will be all yours:  you earned it, you own it outright, and you determine your schedule today -- not reliant on others for extra "help".

Go get 'em, girl!  Own your day~!  Yes. YOU. Can.  (there's no special pill or medication that can give you that... you got it in you.  Let it shine, and keep your work manageable -- with no special help.  Cut back, if you can't.  That's how life works in the best of homes:  take care of your own, independently.  Don't toss some out, to focus on the needs of favored others...)

catholicism, not Catholicism.  The world really is changing like that, our country especially...
