Dear American Tax Payer: I am grateful for the meals you provide. Thank you.

14. No one need ever thank me for that, it is my pleasure and my privilege

Though I suppose since I recently lost my job I haven't been a tax payer for... two weeks. We are all in this together, I've needed help before myself, if we can't lean on each other when we need it than what the hell kind of people are we anyway? I was on food stamps in my late teens, with two children to support.. I know how it is. I too, am grateful that the program was in place to keep me and my family from going hungry every day. I too, am grateful to the American tax payers for having funded this program.

I wish we spent less of our tax money on huge military budgets, absurd congress salaries, hand outs for corporations and so on. Rather, we should be focused on taking care of our people - our greatest asset. Your post is inspiring and heart warming, gracious as well as grateful. I thank you, for sharing your gratitude and touching my heart today.
