patriot girl
of Whitefield, ME

I have a job, but it's getting hard for me and my fellow workers (aka taxpayers) to support all the people with their hands out, especially since BO said he wants to take from us to give to people who don't feel like working and that it's my patriotic duty to want to be taxed more. I wake up at 5am each day and often work 9-10 hours. I'm a disabled veteran; I think I should have the right to keep what I earn and that I have shown my patriotism. Instead of the KJ doing another sob story, how about a story about those of us who face adversity but still continue to work and provide for our families? Maybe instead of the "misery loves company angle" they can actually write a story that shows people there are options out there, and we all have choices. But liberals don't want to hear about that - they always want someone else to blame for their problems and someone else to pay for their mistakes.report abuseYou must be a registered user of MaineToday.com to post a comment.
