Is the American Dream dead or alive? |
"Ah The American Dream" and that's just what it is or for some a nightmare
Ok, this is for everyone who commented negatively on some of my other Ireports. First I will address those who think I am asking for a hand out. 1) When our President called for the soldiers to serve a tour of duty to fight for and protect the same ones that say I am asking for a hand out or that I need to get off of my lazy rear end, why don't you check before you expect the way someone is. I am back in college, I am a single parent of a nine year old, I am 36 and I suffer from PTSD and Sever Depression along with three other disorders. I am on several mediation but it does not help like it did in the beginnig. I can't hold a job b/c of my disorders so thats why I am back in school. After college what am I to do? Will you, the ones that think all I want is a hand out, hire me? I think not! Remember that when you sit down a the dinner table to eat. It's not just about me b/c there are other disabled people out there who are having a hard time. Or what about the people like you with good paying jobs that lost it, house and every thing for that matter. They weren't living out side there means either. Or is it our fought that we are disable, well I know I did not sign up to be disable. I fought and was wounded protecting the same ones that are turning their back on us now. I had a life before the war, a normal life, this disablity is slowly taking my life. No I don't want a hand out I want someone to help other vets so they wont end up like me forgotten. I would like to thank the ones that do care I would fight for you agin anytime.2) What about the people who serve you at a resturant, the live with in there means and hit hard by this latest turn of events. What about those of you who say we need to suck it up, what if one day you lose your jobs? What about tax payers who work two jobs to make ends meet but can't get them to even say hi to each other? Well I know you dont care you got food and gas. Oh and by the way my mom is a teacher and her husband ownes his own construction company, they pay taxes, own thier house but is still having problems. They don't live above thier means. Whats wrong with America, we are better than this thats another reason I fought for this country.
