I love America. I love this country. I love the idea of this country. There's so much that I can take issue with. And I spend far too much time online and I'll wake up sometimes and I'll go on Twitter and I'll be like, I fucking hate this country and I hate the people, you know, but the ideals this country was founded on sort of freedom and opportunity and the hard work or the bootstrap stuff. I love those ideals. I love the idea that if someone can go from making not a lot of money to a generation or two to being middle class or upper middle class or even more, there's the chance for mobility.
