How's this for Family Values.....

[WCGreen]

There is a real possibility that Mrs. WCGreen and I might have to get a divorce because we are almost at the point where we can't afford all my medical bills.

But then again, the Family Value crew over there on the right want to do everything to shore up the family.

Them gays, illegal immigrants, gun stealing liberals and high taxes are destroying the very fabric of the american family.

As if.

You see if we get divorced, I can get extra help from the government because I will be below the poverty level, totally dependent on my disability payments from SSI. Together, we make enough to live reasonably comfortable if I didn't have a life threatening disease...

right now, just to cover our "normal" medical expenses, we are shelling out almost 17% of our gross income. If something is added on top of that, as it most likely will given my delicate condition, we are cooked.

So thanks to them family value guys and gals, my wife and I, who have been married for 23 years last Saturday, may have to get a divorce so I can live a few more years...

What a country!

1. Oh yeah, the right wing is so big on Family Values!

I guess they don't care about family values if you're a good Democrat.

4. It's a part of financial planning in the new world order we find ourselves

in right now...

5. Your marriage is in the heart. No one can destroy that but you.

If getting a divorce saves your life then divorce is a very good thing. Good for you for getting around the fucking rules.

6. Oh yea, for sure...

But it just gauls me that the GOP has such a warped sense of what is really important...
