Dear Anonymous

First of all, I deleted your comment not because you disagree with me, but because you used language unbecoming of a mature adult. This is my family’s blog and children read this, therefore that kind of language is completely unacceptable and will be deleted. I welcome comments from all points of view and encourage friendly debating, but I can’t discuss topics with someone that uses language like that.

For the record, you clearly didn’t read my entire post. I state in the end that there are government programs that do wonderful things for many individuals and families in need. However, these programs are out of control and being abused by many. They need to be re-evaluated! I don’t want my hard earned money to be wasted and spent the way the government sees.

Second, you have no idea who I am, what struggles my family faces every day, or the sacrafices we make. Not that you need to know, but my husband and I are very charitable. We donate weekly to our church financially and are very giving with our time. I belong to an organization that’s sole purpose is to give back to our community and provide for those less fortunate. Before we moved, my husband was on the board for Special Olympics in Los Angeles and was VERY giving to that charity both financially and with his time.

There has been nothing privileged about my life. My husband and I both worked hard to get through college (on our own dime mind you). We took out student loans, got grants, worked during the school year, and worked during the summer. I am reminded of the sacrifices I made during those 4 years every month when I write my check back to the government. I am so thankful they have that program to allow me the ability to get a good education. That program is available to EVERYBODY! Anyone can apply for a student loan and go to college, get a degree, and get a job with great benefits. My husband continued to educate himself and take out more student loans and because of this I am very grateful because he got a great job out of it. He deserves all the success that comes to him because he’s worked hard to earn it.

Regardless of who wins tomorrow, we live in a GREAT country and we will prevail. We may have to endure some hardships, but mark my word….WE WILL COME OUT ON TOP. Isn’t America great, we can have our own individual opinions and not be reprimanded for them. Just think if we lived in China and didn’t agree with what their government said/wanted we would be shot!
