I sacrificed to make sure they could go to school. I introduced them to the literature of the world at a young age. All the great minds. I had them read everything and everybody. And they are very grateful to me for doing so. You know, we all did. I still am. My dad did the same to insure me and my three siblings all did -- even though he managed only 8th grade before he was [literally] on his own with no family. Life is tough. And liberalism doesn't make it any easier. It may change who bears the burden. Maybe I bear the burden for someone who chooses not to work quite as hard as me. Personally, I find your condescending attitude to be a load of shit. I have multiple advanced degrees but don't feel the need to go around blabbing about them. And there are surely others here who could say the same. In my opinion, even with multiple graduate degrees, I didn't know shit until I became self-employed. THAT'S when I found out how the world works. That's went I learned about making payrolls, paying the office rent, and trying to squeeze out a living -- while paying insanely high taxes. And I've done it for 30 years -- without once asking the GD government for a fcking thing. Wouldn't have taken it if I could have. But I have, by god, bought groceries at the gas station so I could put them on my Exxon card because I didn't have any money a week before Christman. And I paid my fcking taxes. I want you and the rest of the sorry assed liberals who are takers and contribute nothing to get your asses out of my life. I don't want to pay your medical bills, for your f*cking streets, for your foodstamps or medicaid, or for your affirmative action or unemployment compensation, your retirement or your nursing home care, or any of the other garbage you want the hard working amongst us to pay for. I'll pay for mine. You pay for yours. When you have walked a mile in my shoes let me know. Until then, I don't care how many university hours you have (I'd damned well wager isn't more than I do) -- you don't know shit.
