COMMENT – By Alan Foyle

I need to rant for just a moment. I’m getting old and I’ve worked hard all my life. I have made my reputation, the good and the bad, I didn’t inherit my job or my income, and I have worked hard to get where I am in life. I have juggled my job, my family, and made many sacrifices up front to secure a life for my family. It wasn’t always easy and still isn’t, but I did it all while maintaining my integrity and my principles. I made mistakes and tried to learn from them. I have friends of every walk of life and if you’re in my circle, it should be understood that I don’t have to remind you of what I’d be willing to do for you.

However…
I’m tired of being told that I have to “spread the wealth” to people who don’t have my work ethic. People who have sacrificed nothing and feel entitled to receive everything.

I’m tired of being told the government will take the money I earned, by force if necessary, and give it to people too lazy to earn it themselves.

I’m really tired of being told I must lower my living standard to fight global warming, which, no one is allowed to debate.

I’m really tired of hearing wealthy athletes, entertainers and politicians of all parties talk like their opinions matter to the common man. I’m tired of any of them even pretending they can relate to the life and bank account that I have.

I’m tired of people with a sense of entitlement, rich or poor.
I’m upset that I’m labelled as a racist because I am proud of my heritage. I never stole any ones land, the government did that…

I’m tired of being told I need to accept the latest fad or politically correct stupidity or befriending a group that’s intent on killing me because I won’t convert to their point of view.

I’m really tired of people who don’t take responsibility for their lives and actions. Especially the ones that want me to fund it. I’m tired of hearing them blame the government, or discrimination, or big-whatever for their problems.

Yes, I’m really tired. But I’m also glad to be in the twilight of my life. Because mostly, I’m not going to have to see the retched, depressing world these young useless idiots are creating. And lastly, because even though I shouted from the rooftops, no one listened or seemed to give a damn. You reap what you sow, and so do your children.

No one is entitled to anything. You have a choice to work, a choice to stay off drugs, a choice to make something of yourself. I have nothing to do with your choice. That’s all on you. You are entitled to what you earn.

There is no way these thoughts will be widely publicised unless each of us sends it on! Surely, the politically correct police censors will try to quiet us.

    You would probably be surprised at the number of people that agree with you, Alan. Then again, maybe you shouldn’t be.
    I agree with you whole heartedly. I feel sorry for my grand kids.

    Thank you for the information. Had I been able to access the Forum after being unable to do so via the password reset link accessed on multiple occasions , I would have done so. I’ll keep trying. Regards to all.

    P.S. Hey Albo, shove your VOICE, invented flag and Republic up your arse! Sorry, I don’t mean to offend but I have had a gutful of the snowflakes controlling the narrative. Why the heck do we suffer this crap from minority activists? I want an “Indigenous Person” defined by law! Some half baked “White Person” who ignores his 99% White heritage to “identify” as a First Nation person is a fraud. Could it be the BENIFIT$ that come with that be the number one incentive? Surly not (sarc)! I walked past a pub selling VB beer many years ago. Can I claim I am a First Nation person and augment my pension?
