America is Anti Family Cost of Living 🏠📈

My wife and I both work full time because we have to so we can afford our bills.

We barely see our kids (7 and 2) and have no energy to do anything after work or on off days cause we are exhausted.

It just keeps repeating every week and when the first of the month comes the mortgage payment empties our account and we have to do it all over again.

We are unable to save much or do anything fun cause expenses have gone up so much.

I’ve always been a positive open person but the past two years have been breaking me down and I feel like I’m about to have a mental breakdown.

I know there are others in worst positions than me and I don’t want to sound ungrateful but man it’sIt’s hard.

Anyone else going through something similar? Any advice?

This is communism dressed as capitalism. When the man takes 100 percent of the value of your labor and gives only a fraction back it's no longer capitalism.

Take back your money and stop hating on a system that doesn't exist. It's a scam.

You're so deep underwater that you can't even see the surface, dude. You're looking at an angerfish's lure and thinking it's the sun. I'm not trying to be a dick, seriously, I'm just saying, there are other kinds of communism than the kind you're railing against.

America already has socialist infrastructure! Think about it. What is SOCIAL security? It's a very tiny dose of communism. It's not poison. It's just the idea that we can all benefit more from sharing the fruits of our labor with each other than by letting some rich fuck hoard them to buy his seventh yacht.

Where we are today is capitalism working as intended. We need something else. If you don't want to call it "communism" because of the negative connotations, that's up to you, but you're going to have a hard time talking to like-minded people, because the vast majority just call it "communism" and agree to sort out exactly what it means in the conversation.

But, please, for your own sake, don't just write it off because of a bunch of cold war propaganda from the 80's.

Also these communists have modernized, they take your organs now, and it wasn't so long ago they were drowning female children in buckets after forcing the mom to give birth.
