Like many women with rich husbands, her office is the bedroom and her hours are 9:00-9:01 pm.

ESPECIALLY the part about expecting handouts! #2 son was mixing concrete and mortar by hand at 12 years of age, lifting and carrying 50# bags to the trough and hoeing them into readimix for me to pour/use for stoops, post bases, footings, etc, in my renovation business. He's been in and out of school for years but with a severe ADHD problem has trouble with schooling in general in spite of a high level of intelligence. #1 son has been out of work for a total of about 13 months in his entire adult life, spending 10 years as a warehouse manager for a parts distributor through FOUR ownership changes,. He was the ONLY employee to survive all those ownership changes and only lost his job after the final buyout phased out his warehouse completely. He was unemployed for a while until landing a job in a meat packing facility, where he's been continuously employed for just over 3 years. He doesn't have the aptitude to continue with higher education, barely having made it through high school at all. Does that SOUND like being taught to expect handouts? Your evident bias just made what you said sound ignorant. Now that you have a little MORE information, instead of flying by the seat of your completely clueless pants, you should be COMPLETELY embarrassed to have raised the charge at all. The one thing, above all else, that THIS Socialist-Libertarian has taught his children is that they are responsible for their own success because nobody is going to hand it to them on a platter. It is not for lack of trying that they are not more successful, and if I were to hazard a guess, their story is more similar than not to MOST Americans today. |

In any event, being a child isn't *quite* first-hand knowledge about being a parent, but thanks for trying to uselessly conflate the two. |

$13.50/hour before taxes doesn't really cut it around here, given the cost of living in Madison, WI - and that's a UNION job, the kind conservatives constantly complain are overpaid. Personally, working in a meat freezer all day isn't MY idea of a good job but it ain't like great jobs for people without a college degree are just low-hanging fruit, ripe for the plucking these days. What? You think everyone who works makes Mitt Romney money just BECAUSE they are employed full-time? That may be YOUR life experience but it sure as hell hasn't been mine - and I have college paper to go with it. (BArch.) I suppose I could live myself like a conservative and tell my kids it's their fault they aren't rich and let life do it's worst to them. Is that what you are suggesting? What ever happened to those "compassionate conservatives"? ![]() Unlike SOME people, we actually LIVE those "family values" conservatives are so fond of spouting off about but seem to avoid participating in as fast as humanly possible.
