A little personal history: I served 5 yrs 9 mos 27 days in federal prison( but who was counting?) on smuggling related charges. I made the misrtake, I was responsible, served my time and was relesed 9 years ago . Lost everything-millionaire to zip. Did I whine about it? Rely on you to support me? Wait on handouts? Well..no. I went to work, and worked hard. Now make 75k/year, home on lake with wonderful wife and family, respectable investment acount. That is the American way. What the hell is wrong with thewe deadbeats and the politicians and do-gooders taht cry on their behalf? Oportunity is everywhere in this great country. Why do all the residents of less fortunate countries risk it all to comne here? I have no sympathy for those who exist on the dole at the expense of those who get up and find a job and go to it every day.
