Went to Florida or Georgia or Texas to get rich

Resent the government because the payroll tax and workers comp and regulation are keeping him from making real money like the big boys.

Complains bitterly that employee wages are bleeding him dry while leaning on his new Dodge Ram pickup that he's using to tow his boat.

Grew up idolizing Donald Trump. Loves the idea that he trades out for a new model wife every 15 years. Thinks Donald Trump supports Christian values.

Says he'd have moved to Mexico if Hillary Clinton had been elected. Loves going to Cabo every chance he gets. Fully supports a border wall and wants every Mexican in America shipped back. By Mexican, he means anyone who speaks Spanish.
