Nope. I am not a socialist.
Big government is the drug of choice from the single mom, to the farmer, to the medical researcher, to the tort lawyer, to the school teacher, to the masses.
You are so right. I can't tell you how many times I hear single moms complaining. I've been told many, many times, "But you're married." I'm to the point that I want to respond, "Yes, I've made good choices in my life." One day I'll reach the point and will do that.
