And that , therein, lies the difference. Once you obtain that victim/gimmedat mentality, you are no longer of the mindset that made this country great. Moving to the other side of the ledger (libtard, socialist, mindset)[Changesd your whole makeup. That is the difference between you and people like me here on The Tree. We all have endured setbacks and hardships in life, but choosing to be a victim is not how we roll. I've survivied a near fatal loggiong accident that put me out of work for a year at age 31. Later had two business failures and lost a boat at sea with lapsed insurance at 45. However, I did not whine or seek government assistance. I kept trying, and here I am at 76 still working most every day and enjoying the ride for the most part. My ex-wife, on the other hand, chose the route you did. She is a class A victim, living in government housing, and relying on handouts to survive. She will not give up smoking two packs a day, claiming "it's my only pleasure." Poor choices and then resentment towards others whom have succeeded. Sounds like you, Mr. Hoppy.

I live in a Government Hud housing that is great, Everything is paid for except Cable, which we do get a 30% discount, Phone, and internet, that is all I pay for rent is 30% of my SS check, and even has a top end that it won't go over. In fact I am going to the store and get a nice beef roast. Sure is a great time we are living in right now, never better.

And at a side note, sure is nice being poor, I pay no federal taxes, pay no Stae income taxes either. But I do fit;e WI. Homestead Credit, of which I get around $250 dollars back from the state.[/QUOTE]
