You can all go F^(( yourselves. Your candidates are just as spoiled rotten, selfish and self righteous as yourselves. None of you would survive the life I've lived. I slept under the same "thousand points of light" Daddy Bush said would help me. I slept on park benches and buses for lack of a home. I ate at shleters when I could stand the smell of the other homeless. I lived days on end without even a hot dog. I showered at the beach at the end of the bus line each morning. Then I turned right around and attended college classes with students who had slept in a bed that night. I studied riding excursions on BART. Monthly fast pass was my transport and many times my home. Yes the food stamps and assistance I eventually collected to help me get through got spent on a good steak and potatoes when I could afford it. If it weren't for the government helping me I wouldn't have a degree, a profession and a home now. Pell Grants and Perkins loan helped, but paid no rent. That was 22 years ago and I survived it. I had guns in my face three times taking what little I had. Young drunks threw their bottles at me in the park where I was trying to find a place to sleep. I got kicked in the head by an old grumpy park maintenence man telling me to get lost one morning. I got medical care for the wounds inflicted from these crimes at General Hospital.
Yet the worst crime I hear of is a republican saying those in need of assistance just want "free stuff".
