I returned to college after failed ventures in 1990 at the age of 26.  I worked full time, joined the Naval Reserves, and took out loans to pay for college. I earned my BA in 3 ½ years. I paid my loans off. I worked for two years after college at a below poverty wage.  I worked hard to grow in my expertise.  I took a job making more than double my poverty wage.  4 years later I was upper middle class. I have helped make other people rich. I am grateful for the opportunity.  Since 2001 there has always been non-family members living with me in my home. I housed my own family plus a family of with 6 kids. I housed a drug addict.  I currently house a single mother and her 2 year old daughter. None of them have ever paid rent. I have been blessed and I want to bless the lives of others without a police state. I have never owned a new car; I have never lived in a new house; I have never owned a new piece of furniture. I donate monthly to programs for the poor. I pay lots of taxes. I have been married for 25 years. I have 7 kids, 2 are adopted. I am blessed beyond measure. I am the 53%. I intend to be the 20%. My dream would be to be so wealthy that they protest my house. Then I will know I made a difference in the lives of many.  Make money. Use it to bless others. Asking the gov’t to do it for you is lazy hypocrisy.
