(8,652 posts)but I don't just live for me.
Although my wife and I have no children, I am happy to pay my share in federal, state and local taxes that helps provide for the education of the next generation, and pay for the teachers who work so hard to provide that eduction.
I appreciate the federal and state help that allows my Mother to live a relatively independent life.
I like my streets to be plowed, my home to be protected at a moments notice by trained, professional police and fire personnel, my rubbish to be picked up, my sewer pipes repaired, my park to be maintained, the street lights working, my mail delivered on time. Oh and did I mention, I like my country to be protected and I want to contribute to the care for those who sacrificed to protect me.
I am also happy to contribute to those who are unable to care for themselves. You see, I may not practice in an organized religion, but I believe in the philosophy of Jesus Christ.
So, your answer is, I am White, I pay taxes, and you will never meet anyone who loathes Republicans at the national level more than I do.
You see, I'm a union guy, and I know who is out to destroy my standard of living and what I believe in.
