I've been broke, homeless, living in the back of my car, often not knowing where my next meal was coming from, and working a part time job where half of what I made went to put fuel in my car while the other half was spent on peanut butter & jelly along with two loaves of bread that had to last me a week to the next payday.

All while I was finishing my last semester in college back in 1984.

I'm white. Don't tell me I don't know what it's like to be poor.

I damn' sure know what it takes to get out of that situation too and I did it. If I can do it, anyone can.

I was in similar straits for a while back in 93. Some was self inflicted but I somehow kept going. There were times the best news I could have gotten was that I had some incurable terminal disease.
