My teen-aged son paid more taxes than Trump!

He worked at a garden center lugging shrubs, carrying bags of top soil and shoveling mulch piles in the hot sun. Let's see, the value of hard work vs. the life of being a liar, a cheat and a grifter. Hard to say with a straight face that developing a good work ethic will pay off in life. This is Donald Trump's America after all. We should all strive to be con men and snake oil salesmen. It's the American way.

And if you weren’t born with a silver spoon in your mouth, the wealthy will tell you to just work hard like they do.

Thankfully I only had to load bags of mulch, etc. into vehicles once in awhile. It embarrassed the young guys to see an old lady doing their job 😂. Most of the time I watered and took care of lots of Karen customers.
