The gathering is over. So I'll say, go back and read. I ain't UAW. I support Delphi in IT. Just a lowly little handicap with emphysema who got a break after losing everything I had in a fire. You're problem is that of assumption because you didn't listen, you just reacted. Ya'll know zip about me but assumption. Never taken a dime of government handouts or unemployment in my life even when I lost my health to pneumonia and had to clean up my burnt out home myself while still recovering from it. I've pulled myself up by the bootstraps and when I got back on my feet, got my life back together and bought a house, this government's policy pulled the rug out from under me.

That's not asking for the government to give me anything. I'd be happy if they'd just stop screwing with my life everytime I get ahead. How's that for the wish if a terminally ill guy who can't just go get re-educated and won't give you the satisfaction of dying on government aid.
You wouldn't know pulling up by the bootstraps if it bit you. I'm not a greedy SOB. I never asked for anything even from my employer who has given me two raises in 4 years after I told them flatly I wouldn't come looking for one. The last one they gave me was delivered 3 weeks after they gave me the date on which my job will go to mexican slave labor. I make 30k a year and earn every dime of it in spades. I'll be lucky to make poverty wages if I can find another job here. You guys are just too full of yourselves to give a damn about anyone but yourselves. Nobody here believed any of you would go after meek little me the way you did. They said what I did several days ago - should be a commercial for Bush if that's my party, cause it'll destroy our party in the polls. So I dragged them in and showed them you. Predictable.. Add dancing chicken to your credentials.
