For the past 4 years, I've struggled to keep my floundering business afloat during this down time. Worked 60 hour weeks for 40% of my normal pay, just to try and keep the doors open, and give my last remaining employee the ability to support his family. I've had some twisted conservative value about providing for myself, and not being a burden on others.
Now that I'm a Liberal, I realize what a sucker I've been. As of yesterday, I've shut down my small business of 35 years, laid off my employee, and opened an unemployment claim. On Monday, I'm going down to Social Services and applying for Food Stamps, Medicaid and Mortgage Assistance. Probably see about a free phone while I'm at it.
Now don't get me wrong. You foolish conservatives need to keep on working and paying your taxes, but I'm going to sit back and let you take care of me for a while. Don't be angry at me, as you only have yourselves to blame. If those blasted Republicans, that you misguided conservatives elected, hadn't blocked every effort our dear President made to fix this economy during the first two years of his first term, things would be better then ever, and I'd still be working. When are you conservatives ever going to learn to compromise for the good of the Nation?
