4. Here's how she fixes her problems...
Edited on Thu May-31-07 12:53 AM by Xenotime
"She has been reduced to begging to make ends meet"
Get a freakin' job!

"She votes these days, but she said... "I don't know if it matters, or if they decided how they are going to count.""
Of course if fucking matters. Women fought hard for the right to vote. How the hell does it not matter?

"Then we talked about the economy... and how chicken has gone up over 150%."
So has beef, gas, housing, utilties, transportation, clothing, What's the point?

"And how it is becoming more and more difficult for her and her daughter to just make it from month to moth"
I like "month to moth" but seriously, get a job and get on a written budget. If you can't get a job...get on a written budget. It's that simple.

"As I did the last time, I gave her some money... and would have gladly bought dinner for them, but realized she was too proud to accept that"
That's just like giving a drunk a drink or a gambler a $100. People have to learn to earn money and own their efforts.

"Folks, this is the reality on the ground. And it is for those people, those who are voling for the first time in their lives, that we need to ensure that the system works..."
That ain't going to happen.. I'll let you in on a little secret, "the system" is fucked. We took over in Congress and nothing changed. People need to learn to start fending for themselves. You could put the fucking Whigs in power and it wouldn't change the price of chicken in Kansas.

Edit for spelling
