I became a Republican during college. I worked my way through school, had no financial assistance and graduated on my own blood, sweat and tears. It irked me when I saw other people who partied their way through school on either my dime (tax funded college assistance programs) or their parents’. Most of the people I know who partied their way through school still cry and whine about how hard working is.
I saw that’s pretty much how the Dems operate and I wanted nothing to do with it.
You can always tell the kids who are paying their own way through college, because when the professor shows up late, they're angry!
