Wow ... you don't know anything about me. I never forget my background and where I came from. I volunteer extensively to help others and contribute heavily to non profits that I believe in their mission. I actually put action behind my beliefs.

It is because I have not forgetten where I came from is why I believe so strongly that the socialist direction Obama and the dems are taking us is so wrong.

Giving people opportunity and allowing them to be successful on their own is what has made america great. How many immigrants have you seen that have come to this country and become wealthy. Why because there is opportunity for all. Penalizing peoples success to give to others will never be the answer. There needs to be the desire to lift themselves up. Handout compound the problem and contributes to future generations living the same life and cycle. Offering a helping hand and direction to make ones self better is far different that "taking care" of people that do not want to change their lives. Government can not be the nipple to feed off at the expense of others just because they choose not to make more of their lives.

So yes my struggles while I was young built pride in success and accomplishments. My mom did not work and my dad busted his back side to provide for his family. There were plenty of weeks the money ran out and meals were slim pickins. But we pulled together and made do.

As for attorneys being the same as government employees ... NOT! I share the lawyer jokes just like others ... but it is a living prosecuting the laws of the land. And in my case mostly in the finacial area from our great wizards in congress. More than half the judges do not even understand them so you protect your clients from incorrect implementation. At least lawyers make their money off free enterprize ... no laws, no need for us ... more laws, more need. Unfortunately we have to compete for our clients both through quality and price .... I view "most" government employees as those that can not make it in free enterprise so their is not a focus on quality of service .... and when they need more money they raise taxes or implement more laws.
