I do. And people who want to listen and have a thoughtful discourse do.  I don't agree with many of your opinions, but you don't see me typing "who cares about what you think".

I am middle class. I am making a comfortable living. I am not being exploited. I am not jealous (nor do I care) that others make more than me. Income redistribution determined by others is a form of theft and destroys incentive for innovation. I have made my way in this world and share my beliefs because I think positive outlooks on the opportunity to be successful are more empowering that the constant negative portrayals coming from those who erroneously position themselves as the heroes of the downtrodden.
