Guest guest Posted February 25, 2008 Report Share Posted February 25, 2008 Thanks Jeff....I agree with you. I have to watch my blood pressure because of some of the reply's. Okay...we all have our opinion, so I will give mine. For years, I was a divorced mother of a son without child support. BTW, my ex was an attorney....another story. Anyway, I struggled every month, lived paycheck to paycheck and probably could have received financial aid, food stamps, etc. I chose not to. I went from a very nice way of living to rental property. Granted, at the time, I didn't have scleroderma. I am now on medicare disability at age 55. Yes, I don't work, however, my husband pays a heck of alot of taxes. My father, who owns a business, pays a huge amount of taxes. Why should we expect the people who works so hard and makes a good living support us? I love helping other people...and I do. I believe that we should teach people to be as self sufficient as possible. I know there are people who need help, and I am willing to help them. I am so glad that Jeff could put into words the way I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
