I know I heard the "Poor College Student" and got a little infuriated. I was poor when I first went to college and now at 28 I have gone back to finish up and I am still struggling. But I don't bitch about it, because I know that hard work and a college degree will lead me down the road to success. I am lucky to be an American, and lucky to be able to go to college.
Democrats are chronic complainers. All they do is whine about what is wrong and how it is somebody's fault.
I'm poor too, but I still got money back from the Bush tax cut. There is NO WAY I see that money from a Gore administration. Which party's for the poor again??
I got so mad listening to the Kerry callers I could spit nails... the lesbia from Illinois whose partner's parents are disabled and can't afford to eat because their insurance is so high... if they are disabled they qualify for Medicare and if they are poor they get Medicare and Medicaid... then the "poor" Mississippi College Student Drop out -- hasn't he heard of "working through college?" I can't believe so many American's aren't happy unless they are getting something for nothing. What happened to hard work and supporting your Country and President in a time of war?
I have a hard time with that "Poor College Student" crap as well. I didn't know it at the time but I was poor by today's standards and didn't have that much going for me after high school. I did some time in the USAF, used the GI bill to get an education, then went to work. I'm 50 now. I'm far from rich but I do make what most would consider a good living. Opportunity is there and has been for a long time. More than enough is never enough for some folks.
