<p>[QUOTE=&quot;medoraman, post: 1609999, member: 26302&quot;]Maybe the founding fathers would sir, I just don&#039;t know. I simply do not know how people view a private business as some kind of charity that should have to give more than the high level at which they are already taxed.</p><p><br /></p><p>Regarding being cold to my fellow Americans, I am trying to spur them to action. I had zero money for college from parents or savings, so I joined ROTC, joined the National Guard, (fought in the gulf war in the middle of my education), and worked 40 hours a week to pay my own way through college at a state school. I couldn&#039;t afford a private college. </p><p><br /></p><p>how many of your $250,000 in debt college graduates can say that? I have read their stories repeatedly. Its always the same, &quot;I borrowed to go to an expensive private school, not working while I was going to college, got a 2.4 GPA in a worthless field, and now I am mad because I cannot get a great job with no experience&quot;. Get real. I pulled a 3.8 GPA in a field I didn&#039;t like simply because it had the highest placement at graduation. You do what you need to in life, and that included getting little sleep while working my rear off for 4 years. If I can do it, anyone else can. My cousin&#039;s kid just did exactly what I did, and graduated with $8,000 in student loans with no help from their parents from a 4 year school. That kid will be successful because she is willing to put in the work.</p><p><br /></p><p>I hate it you believe I am looking down or wishing ill will towards anyone, I am writing this to encourage everyone that with hard work you CAN be successful in this country, regardless of your economic background. Get off your rear and DO IT.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
