Black Diamond, Try reading something for what it is, rather than what you think it should be. I have worked and paid taxes since I was 16 years old, and the money the government took from my paychecks provided for the Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, food stamps, education, housing, government payrolls, etc., etc., etc. I also contribute to the charities of my own choice, on top of all the rest. You, probably haven't even given a thought as to what will be available for me, when I become eligible for the very programs that I have faithfully contributed to, these last 42 years. I grew up in a half black/half white community and I learned about racism at an early age. So, spare me your nonsense.
