    You should be the Obama poster child of welfare, a one eyed patriot dream story if you will. :)

    You did exactly what you were supposed to do. That is, be motivated enough that you were willing to work hard and get out of the hell hole of a life that you were living.

    Congrat's!! I think you should be proud to pay you taxes and share your wealth with the lazy and less fortunate.

    You are right though. You did not sign up for anrything. You were born in it. That whay the USA is the greatest Country on the planet. Just because you were born here now means that you will not starve to death, and have heath care when you need it.

    You should thank YOUR PRESIDENT!
    I have beer with him and kick his ass in a game of one on one but I thank no one in government until they earn my respect. Remember who works for who ........ public servants is just that payed by the public (you and I) and are employed to be servant to the public.

    We got out of the welfare system and prospered.
    I saw the waste, corruption and manipulation of the system. Social welfare programs are wasteful and everyone who works within the system knows it. Why would a tax paying prosperous citizen want to support wasteful, corrupted and incompetent government departments. I did work my way out of poverty just to piss away on failure government programs. I buy smart and spend wise take can not be said of government.
    Gosh a ruddies lets see.
    Your family received government aid at a time of economic during the 1950s/60s. The government programs provided for your “basic needs.” Now you are opposed to the government providing aid at a time we are recovering from an economic catastrophe far worse than any in the 1950s/60s. And according to your comments you wish your tax money was not used to provide aid for those in need. You got yours so screw them.

    To be fair, the government aid clearly didn't go Belly any good.

    So over the past 50 years while you've been climbing out of the gutter and turning your life around and becoming the self-described model, prospering citizen you also couldn't learn to spell better than a 6th grader?

    In the early 60’s learning disabilities was only beginning to be understood and curriculum for things like Dyslexia was not establish. Schooling was difficult but the future for many students was not higher education but factory work or trade skilled training. I was able after military service to achieve a BS degree double major from BGSU in 4 years and three summer schools.
    My careers over the past years never depend on my ability to spell or have proper grammar skills in writing. International and domestic customers only cared about are my ability to solve their problems, provide additional profits and to think. Working with engineers, designers, architects and corporate leader never question my intelligents or my performance as a equally educated individual. Not bad for a 7[SUP]th[/SUP] grade reading, writing and spell level, high school GPA of 1.9, never took an ACT, College GPA of 2.5. What I can’t do good, means I work harder to achieve more doing something better than anyone else. That SPELLS success mofo. :D
    Self centered, arrogant, educated stupid individual like you relate performance educational skills to intelligent and knowledge. That a poor assumption to make when dealing with Belly.
