Reply #29: Financially I am but

[lukasahero]

it's simply been luck. During W's "reign", both I and my partner have been unemployed for various lengths of time (he over a year, me about 6 months). I'm only doing better now because I just happened to have a unique set of skills that an employer just happened to need at that moment. (That's not called a better economy, it's called LUCK.) It didn't hurt that I was grossly underpaid in my previous job so even getting close to market value would have had to have been a step up.

That said, I strongly agree with the poster above who said that he/she doesn't view this election as "all about me". I'm in a position in life now where I don't have to worry about abortion, education, opportunity, etc. but I can't just sit by and let those who do still have to worry about them fight that fight alone.
