[quote=Anonymous]I am not average.  I came from average. I worked hard in school.  I had supportive, albeit middle class, parents.    I had a father who died when I was 10, and yes, I got some social security, but less than he paid in, that shut off when I was 18. I had a step-father whom I would not ask to pay for my education. I went into the military mainly to get money for education. I clawed and scraped and paid my own way to higher education with the help of my military time.  I served in a time when I felt like I had to hide from my friends that I wanted to be in the military.  I got out after the Gulf War.  I have been paying student loans for my graduate degree for 19 years.

I now work 60-80/week for a decent salary, but a crappy hourly wage.

I am proud to be an American.  I believe that America should be about if you work hard, you can care for your family and have stability.  You may not reach millionaire status, but you have the opportunity.  You, as an American, have access to school that will teach you if you want to learn (yes, we need to work on this) and you have access to higher education if you want it.

If you choose not to pursue your right to an education with all your power, then you can find whatever job is available to you.  I believe the government should set up policies that allow businesses to create jobs that meet up with the education that people graduate with from high school.  In my parents' time, that was manufacturing jobs.  Now, we don't have that.  Can we have that again?  I leave that to the economists to figure out.  Should we look to revamping our education to match the IT and service jobs out there, yes.  I believe the key is education, but we have gone astray.

I believe in the supremecy of the American spirit.  I believe that as Americans, we should be proud of working hard and not taking a handout.  I believe in helping people who need temporary assistance to get the training to be self sufficient.  I do not believe in giving all sorts of people subsidies in the long term.

I am not sure which candidate I should be voting for, but this screams Romney, but I hate the Republicans and their religious and gender oppression and obstructistism.
