In reply to the discussion: So proud of this response to a Romney supporting friend of mine.... [View all]Yooperman
(592 posts)My ex-wife and I struggled for decades with both of us working... her father is VERY well off and we asked for help one time and he made us feel like we were worthless because we couldn't make it on our own like he did. Now realize we only were asking for a little assistance because I had been laid off again... the woodworking/cabinetry/furniture industry was hit hard by NAFTA. 5 of 6 companies I had worked for over a 12 year period either moved out of the country or shut down completely because we couldn't compete with over seas. The last one is still there but had to cut back and laid off over half it's employees. Now you try starting over 6 times in 12 years ..it take it toll... but anyway... good for you guys... you know you are right and be thankful and grateful you are.
Peace,
