Another county heard from...

Post #214,749 by imqwerky 7/14/05 12:04:21 PM Reply	Another county heard from... I just got my Social Security statement from the govmint last month. I lack 20 credits from qualifying for benefits on my own. Really pisses me off considering that I have been raising 3 chillens, stimulating the economy and volunteering for myriad non-profits in the last 20+ years. Of course, Ol' Uncle Sam couldn't care less. No W-2 or 1099, no legitimacy. Now, taking another tack, you wouldn't believe how hard I work to __keep__ our money. I was due an $820 reimbursement from the school district and they kept dragging their feet. Had to stay on top of them to keep the wheels greased or else I would have been last on the list. But, if the shoe were on the other foot and I owed the district money? Hoo boy! I would have had to pay it _yesterday_. And things like that go on all the time with doctor's offices, credit card companies; you get the picture. I work hard to spend our money wisely, make our money work hard for us, and get back any money that is supposed to be returned. I buy groceries, make investments, clothe my family, send my son to college, fill my gas tank and vote. And yet! I Don't Count! I am the Engine running this country and I am not even a statistic for the GDP. Really makes me long for a woman President.

You'd likely get a Born Again, Right to Life, gay bashing, "women should be at home and completely subservient to their husbands" Red Stater from the GOP who says, "I'm going to change things so women don't have to do what I've had to do to get these things changed".

Random trivia. George Bush has appointed more women to cabinet positions than any other President in history.
