"The ironic thing is that I probably set a better example of a conservative than you. I've worked all of my life since before it was legal to do so and put myself through college. No golden spooner like you. "

I bet you took out student loans or had financial aid?


My mom and dad where divorced and he was off to war in Vietnam. We lived in public housing in Everett Wa. because my mom was single with a 8th grade education and 3 kids at the age of 19. From the age of 7 I paid for all my own clothes, sports equipement everything but food. For 20 blocks or more in any direction I was known as the kid that would mow your lawn any day of the week before or after school. I rigged up my Schwin bike to tow a lawn mower. I painted houses ,weeded whatever I could do to make a few dollars. If I wanted anything I had to pay for it. I had my first 40 hour a week job when I was 14 cleaning equipement for a local business. I worked full time in HS driving a laundry van. I worked construction summers in college and full time during the school year doing what ever I could. I paid for my college and graduated in 4 years. Never borowed a dime. I am the first person and still the only person in my family to go to college. I started a business with my father in 1983 and sold it in 1996. I took two years off and cleared my land by hand and built my farm and home. I did have a silver spoon because I was born in the US the land of opportunity where a kid can realize his dreams.
