Re: Obama or McCain?

Before you talk about my "head start" to the "rich" by being white, I went to college and law school on the GI bill (graduating from law school in just over 2 years), even though my dad went only to the eighth grade and my mother, who didn't work outside the home, only graduated from high school.

Lucky for me that my parents got married and bought a house before they decided to have children (living with grandparents and aunts/uncles until then).

Obama wants to take money from those that have made money due their own
efforts and give it to those that haven't even graduated from high school (free as an American and should be the minimum criterion for any other government assistance), and that have decided that "I'll just sit back and let the government provide for me".

What have the American people gotten for the $ trillions we have spent by giving money to those people?

Should we start holding people responsible for the money they receive from American taxpayers?
