I admit to
having had my fair share of fun.
I admit to
having drunk from the elixir of life.
I admit to
having been “entombed” in mental institutions.
I admit to
having been spat at by my “peers”.
I admit to
swallowing my pride and asking for government “handouts”.
I admit to
having a mental illness.
I admit to
being financially poor but not impoverished.
I admit
that food is at times an “unaffordable” commodity.
I admit to
using “meal replacements” as a way of freeing up funds.
I admit to
giving up cigarettes/alcohol and socialising for the same reasons.
I am doing
everything within my power to relieve
myself from the financial burden I cost this country in taxes each year. I’m putting
myself through school and I’m not even on “minimum
wage”. Yet you would see it lowered. Does this not resonate with you in any
way? Could you be so cruel, so heartless so mean? I’m not trying to get rich …
I’m just trying to make ends meet.
As for you Ms Rinehart
I’m not jealous of you …I pity you.
You have so much … Yet you have nothing.
I have my pride … What do you have
Gina?

ReplyDeleteI admit I'm due lol :) but still ...
Your story reminds me of both my Mum and I, and how little people understand the realities of why a person is on benefits, you wouldn't wish the situation on anybody and there's no way in hell that you would take it for granted. I want to print this and put it on my wall :)
WOW - Thank you so very much ... I don't think I have ever reached "wall status" before !! Cheers hun x
