I confess!! My upbringing was financed exclusively by taxpayer money!!

My parents both worked in public-sector jobs (city government and school district). No wonder I'm a tax and spend liberal. :cry:

4. My mother was a teacher
my stepfather worked for Sears, which is as close to being a government job without actually being one at the time.

6. When I was born
my dad was in the Air Force. I worked for the state of MO for five years in mental health. I was educated in public schools and I received grants and loans for college.
I guess that my upbringing was also financed by taxpayer money.

9. The education hasn't done shit for me.
But I can argue history and literature better than most of the freepers.
And I went on a public scholarship for debate. Thanks to all of you who helped pay for me to learn how to competively argue!
