I have never played this game Of :you show me yours and I will show you mine . This is the first time.

My mother told me when I was a little boy that I could not ever consider myself successful if I took a dime from a charity or the Government. She told me to work hard, get a degree and earn enough money so I could afford to give to charities.

My mother dropped out of school when she finished the 6th grade. In spite of that she was a brilliant independent hard worker. She never took a dime from anyone. She had very little and lived an honest simple life.

I did what she said. I had no money so I went to work when I was 12 years old and began paying my own way. I worked nights in a drug store until I finished High School then worked full time in a large men's clothing store.

I started University at night school taking whatever course I could afford.
After 8 years of four nights a week I added all day saturday classes.
Two years more and I got a BA then contined 3 years more for an MBA and then became a CPA. My mother was the happiest woman in the world.

I am 84 have been married to the same woman for over 50 years and have 3 children.

My entire family lives as christians without any animosity toward others and are independent and self reliant.

We all have decided that the conservative approach to life and politics makes more sense.
