Re: Enough is enough! Thanks Bush supporters!
Point taken. I guess it's just hard for me to see things that way. My step-father, who raised me since I was 5, has always been a blue collar guy. He makes white collar income but he does it with manual labor. I've seen the man make 250k one year and then lose every account he has the next year. (long story) This man never gave up, ever. He did whatever he could to get money. I was in HS and got a job to help out the family. If there was one thing I learned from my dad that was to work as hard as you could while you are able to. But, being from Atlanta, I never knew what it was like to have no jobs. There was always a job to get. You might be digging ditches 8 hours a day, but it's a job. That's how I was raised. I was raised with the understanding that any job worth doing is worth doing to the best of your ability. This is why I never stayed at the bottom very long. I gave 100% in every job and I always made it to some level of management because of my desire to go the extra mile. Had I had a different dad, I'm sure I would not have developed that attitude. So, it's difficult for me to understand anything else.
