What Does It Matter Anymore?

I gave my opinion to management and was fired for taking that kind of initiative

I divorced my first wife because the love was gone and my college age daughter never forgave me

I quit smoking, exercised, and ate health and with no key factors still had a serious heart attack

I am the only sibling in my family to be diagnosed with cancer

I am the only conservative liberal in my family

I am the only sibling to be unsuccessful

I am retired with no interests

Without my the TRUST FUND left to my sister and I, my retirement would not be spent on the back porch writing words that few will ever read, but I would be up and about working for someone because Social Security is not enough to pay the bills and I have very little savings.

With the TRUST FUND, I am able to pay all my expenses and save the rest to use in about 5 years when the TRUST FUND is financially depleted.

To make a long story short, I am a simple man of simple means who is living a reasonable life with his wife during our retirement.

I am bothered by the LIBERAL DEMOCRATIC party and I really should not be because at my age it really does not matter because:

• I don't need to work
• My health is covered by Medicare
• I have saved enough money to live to 95
• My taxes are relatively low
• My expenses are minimal
• My needs are few
• My remaining life is short

As I look at my life and review what I have done, what I have not done, and what I want/need/desire to do, there is no list at all for the latter two points as I have done everything that I want to do...  other than live a better life WHICH IS NOT GOING TO HAPPEN...  and, if it did, what the hell can one enjoy at 73 years of age?

• SEX
• EATING at expensive restaurants
• SLEEPING in expensive hotel rooms
• FLYING first class
• CRUISING in luxury
• WEARING expensive clothes
• DRIVING expensive cars
• DRINKING expensive wines
• TRAVELING

YOU on the other hand, do have something to gain/lose depending upon which POLITICAL PARTY gain control of the Presidency and/or the Congress, but not the SUPREME COURT because it is set for 2-3 decades in the future.
