IF every NFL player & media hawk thinks that things are SO OPPRESSED in the USA today-—let them take part of their enormous salaries-—including you, Little Georgie Stephanapolous-—and find a black kid worth of getting a decent education & YOU pay for their college education. The whole ticket-—tuition-books-dorms—spending $$. Not to even mention the “blakcs only colleges in the USA....

MY Dad was in the printing business. His company did textbooks for USAFI. I never saw a textbook that was ONLY printed for white kids-—or a desk—or a pen—or a pencil—or a 3 ring notebook & paper—or a study lamp—or a protractor—or a ruler—or a teacher—or any of the normal things that students use. The books & other materials were all the same for the black kids. So I am more than tired of all the ‘we didn’t get an education’ from the Blacks. The education was there-—free—& PAID for by taxpayers like me.

I never had any kids—or grandkids. I have owned 4 houses since May 1966, and some of them overlapped. I have paid property taxes for more years than I am alive—almost 78 years old—and I sure would like a refund of the school part of those taxes. The taxes on my Dad’s house alone were over $2000 a year & half of that was ‘for the schools’. I & my brothers went to a one room school—no running water—outhouses out back—and a merry go round to play on at recess. I am pretty damned sure I have paid for more than MY share of the ‘education’ of kids who didn’t gain a damn thing from my payments. My Dad died when his Soc Sec was $252 a month—so I paid his taxes for a very long time.

Quit clamboring at people like me who actually DID attend the grade school & high school offered to me-—did the homework—graduated with my class (60 years ago)—and have worked for the last 60 ++ years at a number of jobs, mostly bookkeeping & accounting.

I went back to night college classes when I was 29 & spent 4 years working full time & overtime and took the accounting classes. Got a 4.0 in every class I took. Did NOT have a social life during those 4 years, either. I set myself up for better & more responsible jobs, and did bookkeeping at night for very small businesses-—mostly one owner/operator types. By the time I was 40, in 1980, I quit working at a location & desk in only one place & went out on my own——with $69 in the bank & all my current monthly bills paid ahead. I never went back to work for only one client. I PAID FOR EVERY SINGLE DOLLAR OF THAT EDUCATION. NO grants—no other support & I already owned my own house.

I now own this property—all my vehicles—all my furniture & household goods—and my horses & gear. I also must mention that I am female & I was married for a TOTAL of less than 5 years in my life, so this money was earned by ME-—not a husband. That means that I often earned much less than the arrogant male co-worker who sat in the desk next to me.

Therefore-—ether put up or SHUT UP, you pampered, overblown jerks...Including you, Little Georgie. None of you know what it is to work a 40 hour/52 weeks a year job and you also don’t work a 2nd job, as I have many times.
