"I saw a slogan on a guys car that said "Proud to be an American" and I thought "What the fuck does that mean?"
I'm fully Irish, and when I was a kid I would go to the St Patrick's Day parade and they sold a button that said "Proud to be Irish", but I knew that on Columbus day they sold the same button only it said "Proud to be Italian", then came Black Pride, and Puerto Rican Pride. And I could never understand national or ethnic pride, because to me Pride should be reserved for something you achieve on your own.
Being Irish isn't a skill, it's a fucking genetic accident. You wouldn't be proud to be 5'11". You wouldn't be proud to have a pre-disposition for colon cancer."
But I will agree that we are in a class war, and the poor/lower middle class are in the cross-hairs. The sad fact is, only the poor and middle class are willing/wanting the problem to be solved.
