Since this doesn't seem to make sense to our bleeding heart whiners I'm gonna clear it up. A neighbor and close personal friend (with a bit of college but no degree) has spent the last 25 years as a single mom with 2 kids. Between her earnings and child support she made $40,000 - $60,000/yr. To do so she made herculean self-sacrifices that included 60+ hr work weeks. As anyone who has worked and raised kids knows, her work day also included hours of care and nurturing of her kids. A "good" night's sleep was 5 hours. She collected no gov't freebies and her "reward" for being a responsible and productive member of society was the "privilege" of being taxed to support those who would not match her effort or commitment. The vicious nature of this board's bleeding heart hypocrites is typical of loony leftists who seem to believe it is better to work 40/hr weeks and accept gov't aid - aid paid for, in part, by women like my friend - than to make the sacrifices necessary to stand on ones own two feet. You people are pathetic leeches.
