I got a strong back
Steel toes
I rarely call in sick

A good truck
What I don't know
I catch on real quick

I work weekends
If I have to
Nights and holidays

Give you 40
And then some
Whatever it takes

Three dollars and change at the pump..... Cost of livin's high and goin' up.

Aren't those profits suppose to be in billions, not millions? But those subsidies--amazing,,,
.
But yeah, what do you expect we live in a military garrison corporate state, and so this is how its set up. He!!, they can't even get a healthcare program right, or didn't want to get it right..  If you complain or question this set up you will be accused of class warfare or class envy of the rich_ _now that's a weird twist to the 'permanent victim mentality' doctrine_ _the unimaginable wealthy (actually modern royalty in a feudal system) are now 'victims'..... .  I hear the American Dream is alive and well in Denmark....

TY TM for helping correct the oversight ..yes billions (I made the adjustment to correct).
So glad my tax money contributions could help fuel their corporate bottom line... in lieu of my own  trucks tank.

I recently read a survey report citing the Danes are the happiest folks on the planet.
